Okay, I'm having some issues with Halloween this year. Well, just one issue, I guess. This is it: Why can't we celebrate Halloween on HALLOWEEN?! This past Saturday... the 20th...11 days before Halloween, we had our SunCrest neighborhood Trunk-Or-Treat party. Why so early, I ask? It didn't help that it was freakin' cold and snowing outside. AND, Kensie's school is celebrating Halloween this friday, the 26th. Why, I ask {again}? The one benefit of this madness is that my kids get to wear their costumes more than one day {which is fun for them}, but this is outweighed by the obvious downsides which are.... A. my kids are getting a plethora of candy THREE days instead of one, which means a good 3 weeks of crazed behavior B. I have to avoid {or surrender to} the temptation to eat all that candy! And C. I have to watch my kids like a hawk at all previously mentioned events to make sure they don't destroy their costumes before the actual day of Halloween, which is when we should all be celebrating in the first place!! Okay, I'm done. I guess it's fun for the kids..... and that's what matters, right?

I'm all about having lots of parties to get use out of the costume, but I agree, the 20th is too early! It needs to be more like a 4 day in a row marathon, with schools celebrating on the actual day!
