Happy Halloween!

Growing up in Ankeny, Iowa meant that Beggar's Night was always October 30. This mistakenly lead me to believe that Halloween was on October 30. I swear it was not until I was in my twenties that I realized this mistake. (I think for a period of time I thought Halloween was 48 hours). In light of this, here is my Halloween post:

So my Grammy (Grandma) has a Tony (Tony), Emmy (Emi) and Oscar (Sam).

Happy Halloween!
