Halloween is coming, but the date October 18th cannot come and go fast enough! Since mid-September, my son, Daniel has known that he has a dentist appointment on that day. Now, you may think this is cause for panic attacks or passive restraint. Quite the opposite, my kids LOVE the dentist. Since Cory refused to let my regular dentist fill his cavity at age 5, I have taken my kids to a pediatric dentist. Even I wish I could go to this dentist. There are flat screen tv's over the dental chairs, theme rooms for more complicated procedures (i.e. Nascar), video games, air hockey and a kids slide in the waiting room. Who wouldn't love it?! But Daniel has asked 42,654 times a day since he realized when it would be, "How many more days til Oct. 18?" Now Cory/Adam, who is big enough to know this really peeves me, is in on the act! BTW, this is no reflection on the dentist, he is just doing a great job and my kids LOVE, did I mention, LOVE him.

Well, once the visit is over, the countdown to Halloween will begin. Daniel is also a little OCD about his costume (which is in the backroom, shhhhh, don't tell him, or you know what I will hear everyday!!). He is going to be Spiderman with fiber optic lights on the chest and mask. In my day, we threw on Goodwill clothes, lots of trashy makeup, a little glitter, and called ourselves gypsies. Oh well. Aurelia was supposed to be Cookie Monster, but she refused to accept the costume should be worn. She only wanted to admire it from a safe distance. So back to Walmart, where we exchanged it for a leopard outfit that does not require her to put it over her head. I suspect that is why CM fell out of favor. But, she does love her some MEOW, so it will be just fine.

Daniel just asked me AGAIN how many more days til the dentist! Only five more days, but I am not sure he is going to live that long!
