Last week when I was at the supermarket I was surprised to see that one aisle was was nothing but Halloween candy. But this is the last week of September and the beginning of October is at hand, so I guess I should be grateful they waited so long! The Frog Wrangler and I won't be handing out candy this year. Mostly because I bought candy last year - a whole plastic bucket full - ready for the onslaught of children demanding their treats or else my house would be egged with rotten eggs - and no children showed up. So I dutifully began eating away at this candy and finally after about six months tossing what was left. So to avoid expanding my waist line this year I'll turn off the outside lights and draw the curtains and watch a spooky movie on television.

This frog collectible is by Russ Berrie and is known as Count Frogula. He stands 4 1/2 inches tall. I found this cutie over at The Frog Store. One of the original web stores for frog collectibles and by far one of the biggest. Say hi to Froggy - she's the best and always willing to help!
