When my son was younger it was all about dressing up like a cowboy or astronaut...normal things. We're past that now that he's a teenager and plus there are some horrific costumes and decorations out there...wow. Now I have to worry about my future grandkids and what it will be like then. Well, thank goodness that is "way way" down the line :)Mrs.Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08448768461459376066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6268877237940592285.post-13119007573152491102007-10-30T12:35:00.000-05:002007-10-30T12:35:00.000-05:00Yes, Matilda, you might like to go and read what L...Yes, Matilda, you might like to go and read what Lisa said. ;-)http://arewethereyet-davisfarmmom.blogspot.com/2007/10/halloween.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6268877237940592285.post-29111843880718556902007-10-26T14:10:00.000-05:002007-10-26T14:10:00.000-05:00I'm like you, don't care for the spooky-ookies.

We have discussed doing more All Saint's activities, but we have not gone beyond discussion. I guess that is at least partly because it would all be on me to make the transition. My kids scare easily, so we don't go to any houses that have any kind of frightening decorations. They never eat all of the candy b/c they forget about it before it is gone. We enjoy doing this with the kids because it is something we did as kids. However, I am going to try to teach them more about the real holiday.nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06605426195521274662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6268877237940592285.post-79773136455297756812007-10-26T12:58:00.000-05:002007-10-26T12:58:00.000-05:00M,We are very lucky to live in a nice, quiet neigh...M,<BR/>We are very lucky to live in a nice, quiet neighborhood, where we know most of the people. We have a few grim reaper types that come trick or treating, but we poke fun at them (teasingly) and get them all laughing. My mom and I sit on the porch with blankets and cups of tea and Doug takes the kids around. This year we'll have a ballerina, a Leif Ericson and a St. George -- what a group! <BR/><BR/>Like you, I don't like the creepy stuff. I don't allow the kids to dress up in scary costumes -- and no witches! We keep it fun. But, the most important thing is that they know the root of the holiday.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747308009364094199noreply@blogger.com
