Well Halloween is right around the corner. Do you have your pumpkins cut and your decorations out? Did you cook your pumpkin seeds and buy your costumes? I did an I am done. The big and exciting night is just around the corner and the kids couldn’t be happier. Trick or treating, walking around the whole town in scary costumes collecting as much candy as you can in the few hours you can get before it gets to cold. What kids wouldn’t love it? Then there are parents like me who are tagging along watching their kids go crazy on sugar as they run from house to house. It’s a pretty cool thing to watch, until you get home and have to deal with the sugar high ! No seriously though I love watching my kids on Halloween because they are getting older and this is one of the times they allow themselves be swept up and act like kids. I love it!! They get so excited when we come home and they get to search through there stuff to see what they got. That is of course after I search it to make sure there are no holes or tears in the packages and we squeeze the chocolate until it’s flat to make sure there are no sharp objects in it. It’s a shame we have to do it but I guess it comes with the territory, sadly. Any way the kids are dressing up my oldest daughter as a punk rocker, my younger daughter as a gothic fairy (I know geeze right?) and my son as some kind of monster. They can’t wait to show off their costumes. So we will have hours of walking, in what will probably be the rain (we live in rainy country) for them to collect candy that I could have walked into any Wal Mart and bought in a matter of seconds. LOL but that’s Halloween. Have a wonderful holiday and hopefully we will all survive the sugar high.
