BOO

HALLOWEEN-My absolute favorite time of year. Not for any other reason, besides Halloween. I am not a fan of the weather at all. I love the heat. Dry, hot heat. But as far as Halloween goes, I love it! The dressing up, getting to be creative. Using Masks, and costumes to become someone else if even just for a moment. Even going back to as far as I can remember, I have gotten a kick out of it. Doing costumes from scratch, what ever is in the house. I do not like the frilly, girly things either. I am talking the scarier, the goofier, the more creative the better.

I have been Edward Scissor-hands, Frankenstein, Mortisha Adams, 1/2Dalmatian/1/2 Corilla Daville, A Pregnant dog, an afro queen, Peg Bundy, Pamala Anderson, Cat woman.

Oh I don't know, the list goes on and on. It is so stinking fun!!!! So I absolutely love having 3 kids to torture with costumes for Halloween!! My parents used to have an annual Halloween party. It was amazing. Then they gave it up. After a billion years of Halloween. So I think that is why I love it so much. It was always a part of our family traditions. Now I am trying to pass that fun and excitement on to my kiddos.

I bust out the face paint as much as I can to begin with. Any excuse will do when it comes to having a face painting party. So Halloween is right up my alley. Of coarse this year the warning with that is the lead in the paint. Can't we trust anything these days? It is out of hand. I even heard on a talk show this morning that we should have a bag of candy at home, just so we can throw out the candy the kids collect. I understand checking, and re-checking all of the candy, but I would just rather take my kids to homes, and places that I already trust. We are headed to our fall fest at church. We are doing a trunk or treat, and a chili cook off. If any one would like to come. It is 12-2 on Halloween. Anyway, as far as our candy that we pass out, this year, I think that I am going with the tricks. I love to pull pranks anyhow. I can't wait to see their faces when I say....I do not have any candy, but heres a trick!!!!
