I so love this time of the year to see the little wonders of our life dressed in their little costumes. I can understand the entire candy thing..trying to get children in better healthy eating habits and such. The entire safety issue of trick or treating.. but so many areas are trying to stop it all together. I will surely miss it if they do here. They do ours on the Sunday afternoon that falls close to the 31st. I sit on my porch and watch all the kids walk by..all dressed up..either in store bought/homemade or just in mom and dads items. I love the creativity of it all. I do try to hand out healthier items, but it is costly where I live on a main street..we counted them yesterday.. 149 kids..would have been worse had it not started to rain 45 minutes into the start.
