Hey guys, in a couple of weeks we're bringing back our favorite annual tradition here at

the show.

It's going to be our Halloween costume contest.

You guys take pictures of your adorable children dressed up like weightlifters or a lobster

and a pot.

Or please, someone dress your kid up like Terry Gross and then we'll declare a winner.

Send the winner a prize.

But the real winner is me and our whole staff and everyone who follows us on Instagram

We have instructions for the contest coming to our Instagram page.

Just follow us there.

We're at Longest Shortest Time.

And thank you.

Really, just, you know, hoping my ovaries don't both explode looking at pictures of your

adorable little gremlins.
