Halloween

Halloween... my least favorite day of festivities. Costumes are all well and good... but you know my family and candy- IT'S A BIG FAT NO-NO. So, a day that revolves around asking strangers for candy really brings out the Grinch in me.

However, Beads of Courage is doing a random drawing for 50 winners of a specialty candy corn bead. So, I enetered. I had Dempsey get dressed in my favorite costume of his (the Flash) and show off his Beads of Courage.

He is wearing the only strand of beads we strung. With the large amount of beads he's receiving, the stringing of the beads quickly got away from us. My plan was to string them in the order he earned them... but when he was having MULTIPLE things happen each day it became too daunting for my in-shock brain. So, I've decided to just stick them all in a large jar for the time being. Pinterest has adorable ideas that other Beads of Courage recipients done to display their beads.

I've talked about BOC before. They are one of our favorite organizations within the cancer world.

We hope you enjoyed your Halloween. Remember, you do not have to eat the candy you now have. ;-) We are planning to let the boys pick 2 pieces each and then buy the rest of the candy from them. Our trash will be full of sugar instead of our bodies.
