...Halloween from two perspectives
Depending on who you are, Halloween can be either the best or the worst.**For the mom trying to sew three costumes in one week, it's probably closer to the worst (although the three children
placing that much faith in her should count for something...)
*For the children who get to wear the costumes - Party! Bonus! Definitely the best of times.
**For the parents who get to take their kids to the church Halloween activity the day BEFORE Halloween (at which costumes are a social must and they "trunk-or-treat" from car to car) - Worst of times.
* For the kids - two Halloweens in one year! YES! Best of times....
**Regarding the previously mentioned church activity - Dinner is provided---that's good. Good times...but not really best.
*Again, regarding the church activity - dinner is chili. gross. worst.
**Then there's the candy. I understand now why my mom always said we could go once around our block. 13 houses times 7 kids is plenty of candy. As a parent, this is abundantly clear.
*Here is some kid math: dress up + go to the neighbors house = get candy!
We should do this every day!!

**Definitely NOT doing this every day. Once a year is enough!*Mom's just afraid of having this much candy in the house all the time....killjoy.

Um, playdough?
I love the costumes- especially Emily's! :) And you looked really cool as Rosie- send some candy over here- we won't mind. It's probably too late know though.
The candy is gone and what isn't has been experimented with. :)
Dear Emily,
I miss you...Happy New Year!!!
Love, Staci
