Lucky for me, I have three wonderful sisters who are very generous with costumes from past years, or my kids would end up in Sunday dresses, and we'd call them princesses. And I agree with you on the whole candy thing. I don't need it, my kids don't need it, and having it only means we'll eat it.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10187301056264822609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-79660880542331497422010-10-30T08:57:52.882-06:002010-10-30T08:57:52.882-06:00I think Halloween is a fun holiday but not one of ...I think Halloween is a fun holiday but not one of my favorites. We went super cheap this year and bought NADA! They are wearing costumes from the 3 dress up buckets we have except that I borrowed a pilot costume for my 5 yr old and my daughter got a Minnie Mouse costume for her birthday and that is what she will be. <br /><br />You make me tired...I refuse to take all 5 kids to costco with me unless my husband is with meYou da (wo)Man!Cardallshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11892829000971779922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-42207617852975569972010-10-29T22:09:06.420-06:002010-10-29T22:09:06.420-06:00Halloween for me is the start of the holiday's...Halloween for me is the start of the holiday's! I usually love it...and decorate for it...but something happened this year and it didn't happen...don't know why, but it just didn't. I thought that Brian would be "really" upset about it, but he wasn't, to my surprise. His costume was relativily easy, he wanted to be the "Godfather". Pretty easy for an Italian kid, right. I spent $10 for the white tie, and gray hairspray..cheepest Halloween yet. I did go to the school parade and even helped with the party in class, and loved it. I figured that this one was the last one after about 15 years, until I'm a grandma....so glad I took the day off work for it.<br />As for candy..getting mine tomorrow at Costco and out for pizza at Terra Mia....as for the house trick or treaters....can I just put an empty bowl on my porch that says "take one", and then turn the lights off and forget about it??? Probably not, but it was a nice try!<br />See you tomorrow...good luck with the shower!Judihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17644820597982881818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-24020767179407536082010-10-29T16:45:04.074-06:002010-10-29T16:45:04.074-06:00I kind of like Halloween.

I don't dress up and my kids don't get to do costumes at school. I think I would like it less if they did. How distracting. <br /><br />One lady at WW said that she was going to pass out pencils. My kids would love that. What kid doesn't love pencils? My theory on the candy is - let 'em eat it. Get it gone. Don't take them to too many houses so they don't get more candy than you want them to get.<br /><br />I hope you're able to get everything done! GOod luck!Amanda Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662814069840360787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-31296162229148789782010-10-29T16:02:07.934-06:002010-10-29T16:02:07.934-06:00I'm not a big Halloween person but my husband ...I'm not a big Halloween person but my husband is. If he wasn't around, it wouldn't happen. This morning when I left for work at 7:30 he was curling my daughter's hair for her costume. And I didn't go to the Halloween parade at her school because I was running errands. Does that make me a bad parent? Oh well. Maybe I'll go next year when I have two kids at school.<br /><br /> We're going to the ward party tonight (thankfully they aren't doing trunk-or-treat or too much candy), and then tomorrow we'll do some trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. I still haven't figured out how to deal with the candy and my kids. Today I at least made them a fruit smoothie after school because dinner at the ward thing is chili and I know they won't eat it. <br /><br />PS--If you ever want to drop your kids at my house before you go to Costco, call me. I literally live two minutes away :)FoxyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17950095008611661757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-39060825103162326022010-10-29T14:48:42.040-06:002010-10-29T14:48:42.040-06:00This is the second time today that I've been r...This is the second time today that I've been really glad our district doesn't do Halloween at school. They do DARE/Red Ribbon Week/Pink Out Day, which is bad enough because hello, why must we have a camo day?? Anyway, I'm glad at least this year since our Halloween stuff will be tomorrow, so I'll have all morning to put them in costumes and then they can (WILL!!) stay in them until we get done with both husband's school carnival and the ward party. When Halloween is on a weekday, I suppose it's easier to shovel them into the costumes in the morning than during the witching hour between school and dinner and parties.
