Ready for Halloween?

It's getting close to Halloween, so that means costume choices are in the mix at the Y-D house.

It was tradition - back when there were only two or three girls in the family - to dress up in matching costumes. One year, Danielle, Emily and Lauren appeared on KMTV as Hershey Kisses. Another year, they were pumpkins (even Dad got in on that one). Dad's final year on KMTV, the girls dressed as clowns. Three years ago, we were nuns and a priest, followed by a "royal family" Halloween in 2004.

But last year, that tradition came to an end, as the girls all had different designs on what they wanted to be. (Click here to see the picture of last year's motley crew.) The same apparently holds true again for this October 31st.

Emily has decided she wants to dress as a 70s hippie. Why? We don't know. And haven't asked. But we do appreciate the nod to Mom and Dad's early childhood (and re-runs of "The Brady Bunch.")

Lauren is already breaking in her ruby red slippers for her stint as Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz."

We're still waiting for Julia and Olivia to weigh in with their costume choices. We've heard that one of them might resurrect a Hershey's Kiss costume.

Any suggestions?
