My Boys Dressed Up as a Pair of Franks for Halloween

Halloween Costumes

Happy Halloween! I can’t believe another candy-filled day of Halloween has come and gone already. I tell ya, October has been a crazy whirlwind this year. While I donned my familiar red, white and blue business attire for the occasion, both Jason and Ryan chose some interesting options for their Halloween costumes.

Have a Super Mario Halloween with These Pumpkin Stencils

Halloween’s just around the corner. And if you’re like me, you’ve probably gotten a big jump on stocking up on candy. And you’ve also probably eaten half of it by now… We haven’t gone pumpkin picking yet but hopefully we’ll do that this weekend and then do some carving. It’s just been so warm lately, I’m afraid to do it and have all the pumpkins start rotting. But after the email I just got from Nintendo …
