My Amerisleep AS3 Unboxing Video (Surprise, my voice is ridiculous!) If I can (just barely) do it, you can totally tackle a bed-in-a-box by yourself. Updated 10/15/22 Amerisleep's AS5 was recently featured as the 'Best Soft Mattress in a Box' by Good Housekeeping , with the panel of reviewers noting: Pressure relief for side sleepers Taller than other boxed mattresses Good customer service Amerisleep Mattress Reviews We've been happy Amerisleep customers since purchasing our first AS3 mattress more than 9 years ago. Now we also have an AS2 and an AS4 (the AS3 is still our favorite). Born with chronic insomnia (even as a baby - my family insists I was a nightmare), the struggle to improve my sleep is my life. My husband, the overly-analytical mechanical engineer, was initially skeptical of a mail-order mattress, but he was quickly won over. 2012: Wine glass test, sans wine. I was fairly confident our brand-new mattress would pass with f
Sexy Nerd takes it upon himself every year to dole out the Halloween candy. Interacting with trick-or-treaters and their hovering parents is a bit much for antisocial me, so this works out perfectly. It's also an ideal situation for the kids, because Sexy Nerd is a pushover and easily forgets all about my stingy "2 candies each" rule whenever a child with an adorable costume or sweet voice shows up at our door, scooping up enormous handfuls of candy instead.
Spoiler: They all have adorable costumes and/or sweet voices.
"Tank you," he said, picking up the piece while dropping two more.
Moral of the story? Stick to your wife's 2 candy rule, Sexy Nerd! It was pretty darn cute though, and Sexy Nerd brings up the Little Skunk story every Halloween. Because of this, it was easy to make my decision when asked to do a blog review for Halloween costumes, especially when I saw that they feature infant costumes.
Our first year in our first home, one trick-or-treater was a little boy dressed as a skunk. He was only about 2 and had the most adorable Halloween costume ever, along with an irresistible "Twick-or-Tweat Pwease". His mom was holding his bag of candy at the end of our driveway, so he held out his furry, mittened skunk hands. Sexy Nerd was no match for the cuteness and gladly forked over a massive handful of Tootsie Rolls, Caramels, and Gummy Candy Corn into his waiting paws.
"Tank you," said the little skunk, trying to hold all of the candy. He dropped a piece and bent down to pick it up.
"Tank you," he said upon retrieving the candy, only to have another piece slip out of his grip.
Can you guess where this is going?

We could stockpile free costumes and save, like, $40 if we ever have an oops baby. But which costume to choose? All the costumes are modeled by adorable babies, so all the costumes seem adorable. But then I clicked onto the perfect one. Oh, the cute furriness of the Baby Velvet Skunk!
Of course, Sexy Nerd and I are planning to stay baby-free for at least another year or two or sixty, and we couldn't have a perfectly good costume sitting in the guest bedroom closet on Halloween.
Biscuit didn't mind the skunk feet.
In fact, she probably enjoyed making Pica jealous. She's mean like that.
Surprisingly, Biscuit seemed fine with wearing the skunk hat.
Cuter than a human baby? You know it.
Apparently, though, the skunk tail is SCARY!
"It's gonna get me!"
Pica, who looks completely thrilled to dress up like a skunk, wishes you a Happy Halloween.
(Update: We miss you, Pica.)
