Happy Halloween...

Ok, I am just going to put it out there...Halloween is not my favorite holiday. One day my kiddos are going to read this and be so sad that those words came out of my mouth. I blame my mother...sad but true! Halloween was never her favorite. When I was little I do remember being so excited to go trick or treating, having the school parade and party, but I also remember having to choose our costumes from a big black garbage bag that hung out in our cold storage year after year. The costumes were less than desirable and never the "cool" costumes. So, each year I was a baby, footed PJ's, painted on freckles (not that I didn't have an ample supply of them on my face) high pigtails and a Binky. I just grew to dislike the holiday!

 I do get excited to see my kids get so excited. I like taking them out trick or treating, and I am trying to make some traditions that hopefully my kiddos will remember. We love having my brother's and sister's and their families over for dinner and fun. The kids get so excited and have a ball with each other. Our neighborhood is like a movie with swarms of kids running around the streets. I love it. I keep forgetting to charge my camera so the pictures are horrible and I failed to get one of all three of my kids together. Next year people...I will try a little harder with this Halloween business!!
