What is your favorite Halloween candy of all time?
Yes. I love Halloween candy. I love that they're bite sized (think small plates!) so I can have 5 different types instead of a whole candy bar. I'm not a big fan of tootsie rolls... they just aren't my cup of tea, but I love the sour, the cheap chocolate, the fruity, pretty much all Halloween candy.
We'll be taking Jenna trick or treating this year, only to a few houses before putting her to bed (hopefully late to prepare for the time change!) but once she's asleep, I can't wait to dig through her goods! Weeee!!!

What was your (or your child's) "best" Halloween costume ever? (Bonus points for photos!)
I pink puffy heart Jenna as a little squirt from last year. The costume was essentially a hoodie and a pair of pants. It was WAY too big for her, but she was just adorable in it, working on her head control during tummy time was awesome to watch. She was also a flower last year and that was a bit hit, too. However, it was warm last October and I had to take her out of the costume after only a short amount of time because she was roasty toasty.
My favorite costume? In the 6th grade, I was a headless person. My Mom came up with the costume idea. I wore a pair of my dads pants, pulled up to my shoulders (I don't remember what I did with my arms all day long!) a shirt hung on a frame of coat hangers and stuffed with newspaper that sat on my shoulders. The arms of the shirt came together just under my chin... sooo I looked like I was walking around carrying my own head. During the parade at lunch, the coat hangers came undone and collapsed on me, but it was a pretty cool idea, none-the-less.

What is a specific moment/event that made you realize you were truly "a grown-up"?
I have a couple.
1) Shortly after our first wedding shower, I started packing up all of my college dishes to give away to a college student. I realized that I was putting 'grown up' items away. Years from that day I would tell the story of who gave us what items for our wedding years ago. I would look back fondly of that time and be able to tell my children the same stories my Mom told me.
2) We hired a high school student to do some filing at my work. It didn't take long for me to realize I related more to her Mom than to her :-/
3) When becoming a Mom. With a daily routine for cleaning, work and home.

Do you enjoy reading? What do you read and when? What's your favorite book ever?
I do enjoy reading quite a bit. I read: blogs (um, duh), business nerd books (self improvement, business management, personal growth), Mommy books. I tend to like Non-Fiction. That cracks me up, by the way. I remember when I was in elementary school and non-fiction was totally lame. I didn't understand why people would read non-fiction when there were stories of Ramona out there to immerse yourself in! Now a days, fiction just doesn't grab me the way it used to. I have a book sitting on my nightstand that I've been reading over the course of the last year. It's fiction, about knitting (Friday Night Knitting Club for anyone interested). Oh, I guess I don't read entirely NF. I will pick up some chick-lit every now and then if I don't want something too thought provoking.
I read blogs on my phone in the evenings, and when I'm in the middle of a book I read it whenever my butt hits the couch and Jenna's not around.
Favorite book ever? Ugh. So tough for me. I'll list books that I rec to others frequently
Business Nerd Books: 4 hour work week, Am-bitch-ous, How to win friends and influence people and Think and grow rich I think those are my 4 biggest reference point books. And I fully admit the titles are a bit lame on some of them, but the content is friggin awesome.
Mommy Books: Sippy cups are not for Chardonnay; Love & logic, early childhood years and It sucked and then I cried.
