my nose itches.

brennan was the firefighter.
max was the fire.
i was the Dalmatian fire dog.
sean was the fire hydrant.
remember last year?
brennan sobbed about being a firefighter for 3 1/2 minutes today after his nap.
he had changed his mind over the past two days.
and now wanted to be a ghost.
i told him max was going to wear his firefighter costume if he didn't.
he immediately wanted to wear his firefighter costume.
then he stared at himself in the mirror for 10 minutes.
i am glad halloween night is over.
i'm exhausted.

{in utah if halloween falls on a sunday that means we celebrate it saturday night. and friday night, for that matter.}

and my nose has been relentlessly itching for the past 4 hours.
i only itched it once and was covered from wrist to finger tip in black makeup.
i asked sean how much candy brennan had had after i opened a 4th piece of candy.
he scowled at me and said that question is not allowed on halloween.
i lifted my eyebrow and nodded my head in agreement.
i love the excitement of the first house you knock on and the first trick or treaters that come to your door.
magic.
halloween just reached an entirely new level of fun in our house.

bring on the turkey.
