Happy Birthday/Halloween to You!

This blog goes out to my friend Dar, who was born on Halloween. Happy Birthday Dar! Ever since we met so many years ago, I have seen her on her birthday. when the kids were young, we would meet up for hours and hours of trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. We loved it; we would push strollers and just talk and talk while the kids ran from door to door collecting their precious candy loot. We would later laugh at which one of our kids would hoard the candy under their beds in a shoebox, and which ones would eat it, or at least try, in one sitting. We both had a mixture of each type in our families. We luckily had the foresight to take pictures, and they are just so precious - I never get tired of looking at them.

So I just finished baking some cupcakes with cute Halloween decorations on them. Tomorrow I will see what Dar is doing, and bring her some. We may not still be trick-or-treating, but we can still have some fun.
