We spent Halloween at Sheri and Bob's again this year. Next year we'll stay home and trick and treat in our own neighborhood with lots of kids! Anna was a real trooper for trick or treat, trying her best to keep up with Mia, who ran from house to house! I'm sure they'll both be running next year!
Every year I'm reminded of the many Halloweens Dar's family and ours spent together. We switched houses each year and usually had hot dogs for dinner and pumpkin pie after trick or treating. There are many many funny memories of those nights. Once, Dar made Matt a mummy costume but nobody could tell what it was. They thought he was the Foster Farms chicken or the Michelin Man. One lady even said, "Your mommy made your costume, didn't she Honey?"
Another time Matt, Joey and Dani ran back from a porch with an entire bag of candy bars each. Danielle came back crying. She told us they ran out of candy! Our kids were the first to the house and a little boy had given them all of the family's candy!
I know a lot of people don't celebrate Halloween any more because of the pagan background. But the dressing up part was actually started by Christians in response to the pagan holiday! So I say keep it cute, not gory, and make some fun family traditions for Halloween!
