Trick or treat and bathtub gin

So our town does trick or treat the right way....in the evening on Halloween night...this year Natalie is dressing up like a fairy with a pretty pink dress and wings...I'll try to post a picture this weekend. She did mention that she didn't really want to go out for candy though...she just wanted to stay home and hand out our candy....we'll see if that changes over the next few days.

The girls did attend a Halloween party at a friend's house. I didn't go due to them having pets and my allergies, but I guess they had a great time. Except for Pete dressing up like a skeleton and scaring the crap out of all of the little kids...his and my daughter included. :)



One day a week or so ago we were all sitting watching TV when the Toyota ad came on. The saved by zero campaign. Natalie started singing along with the song and then stopped and said..."we're not saved by zero, we're saved by God" Out of the mouths of babes.



Tonight when I came home from work, Lynn was in her office and Natalie was in the tub. I poked my head in the bathroom and said "hi goofball". She replied "you're a goofball" to which I agreed and said the reason I'm a goofball is because I do things like this: and then I tossed a dixie cup of cool water on her. :) She wasn't real happy with that. At that point Lynn intervened and told me to ask Natalie what she's making in the tub.

Me: "so what ARE you making?"
Natalie: "alcohol"
Me: "excuse me?"
Natalie: "alcohol"
Me: "what are you making alcohol for?"
Natalie: "a party"

Apparently it was chocolate alcohol for a party. This is funny because we very rarely drink alcohol or talk about it in the house....an occasional beer for me or glass of wine for Lynn, but very occasional...my daughter is setting up a moonshining operation out of our bathroom. I guess that's how a lot of folks did it during the Prohibition era though. :)
