WOW! I thought the monsters on all the shows and movies before and during Halloween were bad! Every Halloween, Christmas, Valentines Day (maybe) and Easter another is unleashed!!! Moo-ooh-ah-ah-aaaaaah!!!! That would be the little ones on a sugar high and CRA-A-A-A-ASH!!! So it is with Alana, my granddaughter! Aunty Britney (my oldest daughter) took her out trick-or-treating last night. I stayed home to pass out candy (so my house wouldn't be egged or toilet-papered).

They went out last night. Alana was dressed up in her pretty princess costume - she looked so innocent and adorable! They came back two hours later with a FULL BUCKET of candy...emptied it and went back out for another half hour. Not much came back that time - PHEW!!!!! I screaned the candy for the semi- or unwrapped and removed TWO PIECES. One was a candy Kiss with the foil not totally around it and the other (from my son's dad and ex-#2) was a CHOCOLATE COVERED MARSHMALLOW SNOWMAN FROM CHRISTMAS!!!!!! Got rid of that as well. According to "reports" he was offering red, green, silver candy kisses and the snowmen for Halloween! Ugh!

Things are going okay! Alana had a couple of pieces of candy and we visited with the neighbors for a bit.

After Halloween???? OH, MY!! I let her have a couple to snack on. What a mistake!! Let's just say a three-year-old shouldn't have an attitude and mouth like that (thanks to her mom) and it took four hours for her to pick up her toys!!

The Halloween candy? it's at the neighbors right now so she doesn't have the visual!

By the way, yes, I'm doing this ALONE! I'm a single mom/granmother! Have been for years and years!

Watch out for the "After-Halloween Monsters"!
