*This house that is right down the street from us, that has an American flag, huge spider and spider web, police tape, 2 scarecrows, and 1 deflated inflatable:
The house that is about 5 blocks away from our house, that has a giant inflatable spider that has been suspended from the tree in their yard, with a giant spider web that they probably had to get up on a ladder to connect to the top of the house, that spans their entire front yard:
And **this house, that has 1 sad and pathetic looking, dried-up mum, a few baby pumpkins, and 2 pre-lit jack-o-lanterns. The owner of this home obviously has too much on her plate, as she can't even find the time to water that poor mum. And what on Earth is that in the corner? Is that supposed to be a witch's broomstick? What is up with that huge stick?
And the winner is (drum roll, please)...
The house with the giant spider web!!! Woo Hoo! Way to go, random neighbor that I have no idea who you are or what your name is. Way to go ALL OUT on the Halloween decorations! Here's to a job well done!

And now, moving on to our next category. In the category of Best Random Comment Made By One of My Kids This Week, the nominees are...
Avery: "I already know what you're going to say about my hair and all I want to say is that I'm going to go brush it right now, so you don't even have to waste your breathe."
Isaac: "Can we listen to the ***Move My Jacket song now?"
Samuel: "Yes, this IS what I'm wearing for the day. And just so you know, the whole everything-needs-to-match-thing is getting really old and I am over it."
And the winner is (drum roll, please)...
Samuel, who decided that he is "over" the whole matching-his-clothes-thing at the age of 10, and who wore an Army green and white striped shirt with red and navy blue gym shorts today to go to the pumpkin patch in. Way to think outside of the box and not feel pressured to conform to the societal rules of fashion, dude! You rock!

* This house might have taken the grand prize IF they would have inflated the inflatable (I am not a fan of dead inflatables) AND if they had taken down the flag. Because let's face it folks... You can be as patriotic as you want to be, but when it's all said and done, what does the flag have to do with Halloween? Not much, is the answer to that question.
**This is actually my house. And yes, I am busy. And yes, I feel sad for that poor, dried-up mum that I can't ever seem to find the time to water. It's all my fault, mum, and I am so sorry... And that stick is actually a walking stick that Hector found YEARS ago on a family camping trip, that he promised me he was going to "do something with." It has sat right there on the porch for 3 years now...
***The song is actually Moves Like Jagger, but I LOVE it when he says Move My Jacket. I can't bring myself to correct him because it is SOOOO cute!
