Holloween

Its the day before Holloween and I haven't had to make a costume this year. That is really sad to me. The two older children don't trick or treat they just wander around the village with shaving cream and have some harmless teen fun. I am not sure what my 12 year old is doing and my baby put her own costume together with a little help from big sis. I know I will still be marching around the village tomorrow night from 6 to 8 because sorry 10 and even 12 is too young to set them loose by themselves [can you hear the oh mom].
I use to love holloween as a kid, My mother would spend the month before creating costumes for us and she and a neighbor would sew and paint what ever we were to be. The traditional holloween meal before going out to trick or treat was pigs in a blanket. Then you had the candy check which i now know was the parents way of helping themselves to your candy while sounding all protective and heroish about it. I can still remember my oldest childs first trick or treat experince like it was yesterday. First the fear and them the wow i get candy face. We didnt even get pumpkins this year. I guess i will have to go by myself and get one so i can at least cook the seeds.
