Chocolate coating makes it go down easier....

Babies are so much fun....I don't have any myself, this is just something I have heard.

I do have a beautiful niece, Emily, who is one of the most talented little gals I have known (bias of course). I love being in on the firsts for her and watching her learn. This isn't her first Halloween, but, it is the first that she is old enough to enjoy.

Saturday, I went over to Miss E's house and helped her (and her mother) make Halloween cookies. She is so big and works so diligently! It is such fun to watch. You can just see her brain moving and learning and it is so fascinating.

Here are a few pictures to to see how much fun we had.....

As I expected. "Mary Poppins, practically perfect in every way."

As a child I was a nut for books and movies. Some might say I was just a nut, and they are mostly right...who else but a nut would devote an entire blog to their perverse love of all things cinematic. But I digress....

As I was saying, I loved books and movies, and my favorite thing as a child was Disney movies. The first movie I ever saw was "The Fox and the Hound". My mother often tells the story that the whole theater knew I was there. She said when Chief was hit by the train you would have thought my heart was broken. I cried so loud and long it was really sad, I'm sure people were wondering what my parents had done to me......I think I am digressing again.....what was I talking about...oh right, costumes....

My favorite Disney movie ever is "Mary Poppins". I love Julie Andrews with all my heart and can quote that movie from front to back.....however that isn't unusual because I can do that with a lot of movies....there I go again...

Costumes right...this year for our office Halloween party I decided (notice I decided) that Nick and I would be Mary Poppins and Bert

Pretty cool, huh. Well, we won an award at our office costume party. I'm just glad that Nick didn't want to wear his Jekyll/Hyde costume.....
