We were snuggled up watching Free Willy Friday night, when there was a scuffling at the door. My husband opened it and announced “We’ve been boo’ed!” He brought our Halloween basket over to the couch, brimming with Annie’s granola bars, homemade chocolate chip cookies, Annie’s Halloween bunnies, Toblerone, Halloween tattoos, pencils, and pretzels — a […]
