That awkward stage of life...

... where you're too old for raging Halloween parties but you don't have children on which to focus all your attention and creative costume impulses...

So instead, you put on your boots to trek through the pumpkin patch, watch Hocus Pocus with your husband, burn your pumpkin spcie candles (which reminds me, HOLD THE PHONE I haven't had a Pumpkin Spice Latte yet!!!) and watch the Disney cartoons that scared you as a tyke and will forever feel like Halloween.

Remarkably, we managed to get all the Forsythe kids and their significant others
together for an outing at the same time and even more remarkably I think everyone enjoyed it.

There are some things that just feel like Halloween -- remember this Disney cartoon? No matter how many times I watch it I hold my breath in fear for all the little guys.

This is my earliest recollection of being introduced to CCR :)

 

 

Ohmygosh, remember these? I hadn't realized how much good music they played... does the Disney Channel still do stuff like this? They should. YouTube you are a wizard time machine.

 

Have a safe and happy Halloween and don't summon the Burning Rain of Death! ;)
