This video is a very clever green initiative. It goes to show that you can think outside of the box and do well for our planet and humanity.

Tonight was another episode of Amazing Race. I really like that show. The human interaction between the race partners and the other contestants is really fascinating to watch. We had such a late night last night with the trick or treating, that I had to lie down for a short nap with the kids. Next thing I knew, it was after 8:00 and we hadn’t even eaten dinner! What a messed up schedule we had today!

Obviously, dinner was fast and we didn’t have time for TV. Everyone had to rush through eating, showers, and bedtime routines because we have school tomorrow. So I hope to find the Amazing Race “On Demand” or maybe on the internet so I don’t miss the episode.

Every once in a while there is a burst of protests from people about celebrating Halloween. I understand their good intentions and their issues with embracing ideas contrary to their own religious beliefs. But in all reality, most kids don’t even think about wican and the origins of the celebrations. The kids just want to dress up in costumes and go collect free candy. The modern tradition may have evolved from more sinister beginnings. But that’s not what it is about for most of us anymore.

I say, let the kids have fun and collect their candy.

As parents, we are supposed to bake and take 2 dozen cookies or other treats for the children’s class party on Thursday. I’ve been scouring the internet for Halloween cookie recipes, and just can’t find much of interest.

The best that I came across so far are these meringue ghosts. They are probably very easy to make and after you stick a couple of eyes and maybe even a mouth on them, you have some really cute ghosts.
