I feel like I've been slackin' when it comes to reporting some of the family activities lately.  This is a little late, but I guess better late than never.  So for Halloween, G went as a ninja and D went as a ninja turtle.  This is only the third time D's been trick or treating, and so far we've tried to get the kids similar costumes.  Last year, they went as Obi Wan and Yoda, and the year before Batman and Robin.  This year, they didn't really match, but whatever.  And shoot!  I have a lot of grey hair!!!  I guess I'm not shedding the "old man of 2+2" label any time soon.

The local party was over at a neighbor's house, where everyone brought an appetizer or drinks.  Since the houses in our area are kind of far apart, Mrs. Fly and two of the neighbors actually went and had houses in a designated area sign up to give out Halloween candy.  It was a nice way for us to see some of the neighbors who also have young kids.

Later that day, we went over to an area where the houses go nuts for Halloween - people actually have elaborate displays, including smoke machines, animated figures, haunted houses, etc.  I guess the best way to describe it would be kind of like those neighborhoods you see on TV that go nuts for Xmas - except this is for Halloween.  The single mom lives in that area, and she invites a bunch of people over for Halloween every year.  The mom and daughter dressed up like bees, and I have to say, it was the hottest / cutest mother / daughter (respectively) costume I had seen.  Obviously I was too busy with the food and drinks to take pictures.

TOP 3 DOUBLEFLY WAYS TO SAY "YOU'RE WELCOME" (TO A WOMAN)

It has come to my attention that Mrs. Fly's been sharing some of our "Flyese" (stuff we say to each other all the time) with some of her friends.  So I thought I would share a few phrases with you guys:

3.  Mrs. Fly:  Thanks honey.
DoubleFly: That's not how a woman thanks a man.

2.  Mrs. Fly:  Thanks for dinner honey.
DoubleFly: When a man takes a woman out to a nice dinner, he expects a little something in return.

1.  Mrs. Fly:  Thanks honey.
DoubleFly: You can thank me later.
Mrs. Fly: I'm thanking you now!!!
[and 98% of the time runs away screaming, "Ewwwww!!!"  But hey!  it's all about the other 2%.  ;-)]

So feel free to work in a few phrases of Flyese with your mate.
