All Hallows Eve

At this point in my life, I'm not much for frivolous holidays such as this. As a kid, I loved Halloween. Who wouldn't want all the candy you can get? I was definitely for it. But it's really a lot of work as an adult. My two chillins, Darby (5) and Piper (3) will be all decked out as a Cowboy Witch and Sleeping Beauty, respectively (If you've never seen one, a Cowboy Witch is a hybrid of a witch, which was the first costume found, and a cowboy, which was the hat that she found after said witch was decided upon. Therefore, she decided she had always wanted to be a Cowboy Witch).

This morning is an example of the pain in the ass that is halloween. Getting up and getting ready is always a chore anyway, but this morning the whole Halloween thing just adds that 'extra something'. Darby is in kindergarten and her class was having a Halloween party after recess, so she was bringing her costume. Then Piper, who is going to the babysitter starts to cry because she wants to bring her costume. And we just let her do it because it is too much trouble to argue with her about why she doesn't need her custome at the babysitter's house. So, we are getting trash bags to put them in so they don't get wet, and along with all the other pageantry that is getting ready, we finally get out the door. Doesn't sound so difficult, but you've never been to my house at 7:15 am.

I'm not that much of a scrooge. It is kind of fun seeing them dressed up and getting their candy. Nostalgia!
