The little Halloweenies

Halloween is such a fun holiday. We dress our kids up so we can't recognize them and then get them hopped up on sugar ALL DAY LONG!

Isn't it stupid crazy fun!

To make it even better, at my house, we haven't even carved our pumpkins yet! Hubby got home at bedtime yesterday, so we are going to fit in dinner, pumpkin carving and trick or treating all in one night. Then, the kids will be so buzzed on sugar, they won't be able to sleep and then getting them up for school tomorrow will be even more painful eventful.

I love the kids excitement though. My son was SO excited he was up at 4:45 AM, convinced I had slept through my alarm. He kept asking "Mom, isn't it past time to get up?" No, son it isn't.

Another reason I love this holiday is that we the kids get so much candy, that they just have to share with their parents. It's like a Halloween tax - we take them Trick or Treating and then we get our cut. Besides, we simply have to check the candy for safety reasons?

One of the things we have never done (maybe next year) is hold a Halloween party. I love seeing grown ups dressed up to look utterly and completely silly for a day. Add in a few spirits and it's a writer's dream - there is material for days. I have seen some pretty good costumes, but just once I want to see a group of guys dressed as the A Team. Wouldn't that be cool? Forget being a pirate or a bottle of ketchup (unless you are this pirate - yummy! LOL). Go for the gusto and be original, you know?

Back to finish soon....
