I'm not sure how it started, but when the kids were little we always used to dress up in themed costumes and go out trick or treating together!! Ahhh fun times!! I am trying to remember...but I think this particular year, Alex was a baby and he and I stayed home..while Little Red Riding Hood, Grandma and the Big Bad Wolf did the trick or treating.
I never really practiced the custom of dressing up scary and gory... That is just not part of who I am. But we came up with some fun costumes over the years. I am not much for scary movies, and truly don't understand people who love horror flicks, or write and produce them. For me...Halloween will always be dressing up in fun costumes...and getting candy. I will steer far away from the haunted houses and haunted hay rides. Though I miss these days of little ones toddling out the door in anticipation of a sugar high, the spirit of the holiday seems to live on in my girls, who get ultra excited for all holidays...and are still planning to dress in costume this year!!
