This post is brought to you directly from my cellphone. For some reason my laptop has been acting funky( that's why I have been M.I.A). I know that the plug in most likely needs to be fix, along with other things that we will work on during the weekend after all the halloween goodness is absorbed.
On that note my favorite holiday will be here in just TWO sleeps( lingo that's used within our home). Pretty pumped to carve our pumpkins tomorrow along with orange homemade play dough, costume fun, pumpkin pancakes, local pumpkin patch and anything else in store for the eve of my holiday. We kind of do not have any traditions for Halloween. We just wing it and do what feels good or sounds like fun that year.
I'm interested to hear... What's your families traditions? I always love hearing sweet things like that.
This Saturday will be trick or treating. I've heard of families who actually switch out the treats with ones that are purchased before hand. Then saw a clip of The View where they were talking about this very thing. Kinda sounds like a waste of energy and loss of the spirit of trick or treating. Yes, of course parents are doing this for precaution and all but I wonder about the areas they trick or treat. Like for instance, we trick or treat in the part of our neighborhood that consist of four streets. We only hit the homes we know and feel comfortable knoking on the owners door and receiving candy. If we don't feel 'right' about a house we skip it. When we arrive hom we just check the stash for any that-
are unwrapped
punctured
or just plain...GROSS.
I love how there are some great trusted areas, organizations, and communities that actually host trick or treating events. Helps with the fear of the unknown for some parents. To me, it seems like a better fit than swapping out candy.
With love,
Nush
