Midnight Photo session

Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night and realize there was something you forgot to do?

That happened to me last night. I went to bed early, and about midnight I woke up. I realized I hadn't taken any halloween photos. Every year on Halloween for the past 24 years I've taken photos... of the kids in costume and of the newly carved jack-o-lantern. This is the first year I didn't have a kid go trick or treating. Josh just wasn't into it, so he handed out the candy. We had carved the pumpkin with a funny design that I had seen online. (It looked like it was throwing up it's innards.) But I didn't take a picture of it.

So at midnight as I was lying there willing myself to fall back asleep, the thought kept running through my mind... "you didn't take a photo of the pumpkin!" So what does a good scrapbooker/photographer do? She gets up at midnight hoping that some neighborhood teenager hasn't been in a smashing pumpkins mode, unlocks the front door, and with camera in hand tiptoes outside barefoot and takes several shots of the pumpkin in all it's throw up glory.
