Arctic Circle Flashlights

Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. Maybe it is because we all get to pretend to be something we are not. Perhaps it is because we get to write fun Halloween stories in school. (This year I am writing a story about a Vampire Penguin, I'll let you know how it turns out.) Whatever the reason, the candy corns, the pumpkins, or the fall colors...it is great!

One of my favorite memories of Halloween is when we would get the little coupons to Arctic Circle for a free ice cream cone. What an awesome treat! How can a tootsie roll stand a chance against an ice cream cone? Anyway, because of some traffic issues, Devin and I found ourselves driving by the good old Arctic Circle the other day. They had their big signs out advertising their really cool Halloween flashlights. We started talking about the really cool Halloween buckets that they use to give out with their kid's meals. One thing led to another and after two trips to Arctic Circle, we are now the proud owners of the complete 2007 Arctic Circle Halloween flashlight collection. I guess this is my way of getting over the fact that I never got one of the cool Halloween buckets as a kid.
