i was driving home from work on friday nite, thinking about getting the kids ready to go trunk-or-treat at the church, and i got a wild hair.
i exited one stop early and popped into party city where i bought green face paint and a yucky witch nose. wart and all.
when i got home i put levi & piper in their costumes, put pete's dragon on, and told them i'd be right back. i locked the door to my room, took off the pants i was wearing and cut them to shreds, painted my entire face and the yucky nose green, and donned some witch shoes and a witch hat.
and then my wild hair got wild-er. originally i planned to just surprise them, in general, with my halloween festive-ness by dressing up with them. but now, NOW, i was planning something much more evil. (see, reason #1 hallloween is so yucky. evilness.)
**WARNING: possible "TMI" moment ahead!!**
i jumped out from behind the wall to where the kids were watching a movie and made my scariest witch laugh/face/curled fingers.
surprisingly, nobody screamed - they were too frozen in fear. but pickles let, what i thought was the longest most put-your-whole-heart-into-it....toot. but what really turned out to be her pooping her diaper. yeah, i, literally, scared the crap out of my baby.

and in what heidi thinks is the craziest part of the story, i picked her up and put her in the car because we were LATE! i say, hey, that's what pretty much ALL parenting experts agree on: whatever else happens, DON'T be late to the church trunk-or-treat. besides, it made for a funny picture of a witch changing a poopy minnie mouse in the back of car....
