Halloween

I must confess that Halloween is not my favorite holiday.  I prefer to celebrate autumn, but I am also not a complete scrooge so I pass out candy, get my kids costumes and all that stuff.  Here is a very brief recap of our day:


Sarah and friends on their way to a Star Wars party - can't you tell from their costumes?

My own "decoration".  Told you I prefer celebrating autumn!
The day was complete with costume parades, class parties, changing minds on costumes - several times, friends, and candy.  Lovely day.

Did anyone sit on Sarah? Very funny costume.

Ha ha ha ha ha - love Sarah's costume and Marsha's question. I'm guessing they did, I definitely would have sat on her had I been around.

And... I'm with you, Kim. Not a fan of H-day.

I love the Woopie Cushion! I think there were Woopie Cushion and stuff like that in Star Wars. You just have to look for them.

Kim you would like this private school in Pleasant Grove. They don't celebrate Halloween, they celebrate Autumn and the harvest. It's very lovely, but the kids of course HATE it!

I have to agree. I try really hard to celebrate the things I like about Halloween...dressing up, eating candy, carving pumpkins, eating candy, trick or treating, then eating my kids candy. I'm a real sport.
