Halloween and What I’m Working On

Happy Halloween!

The kids don’t trick-or-treat anymore. My oldest just started a part-time job so she’s working today. It’s going to be busy so I hope she handles it well. My youngest is trying to finish all her homework so she could help hand out candy. This year, the family decided to all dress up as pirates. My oldest can’t dress up so it’s just going to be the three of us. However, we took photos a week ago and I’ve started to create a concept piece using a couple of digital scrapbooking kits. Here’s the initial layout, still in the rough stages, trying to figure out background, props, etc.

Boo!

I’ll be taking the girls trick-or-treating around the neighborhood.  The girls’ dentist is offering $1 per pound of candy (up to $5) they donate to the dental office and they will ship those candy out to our military in Afghanistan.  I think that’s a really awesome idea!  My 4-year-old was pretty excited.  My 9-year-old was a bit hesitant at first but she agreed.  They’ve collected a lot of candy this month and there’s no way I’ll let them eat it all.
