Favorite candy is Hersheys Milk Chocolate bars or snickers. I can't think of any candy I don't like.<BR/><BR/>I spent the evening out on my front porch giving out candy. One little girl told me she would see me next weekend. I got a big kick out of that.

I'm just not a big fan, but since I have kids, it's hard to be entirely as Grinchly as I might desire... I just spent the entire day at my kids' school partying and parading... No costume for me (unless you count my usual get-up--super mean mommy ;))<BR/><BR/>I'm trying to remember what Halloween titles we've enjoyed recently--Halloweena, by Miriam Glassman was a fun one. And Barbara Robinson's The Best Halloween Ever...<BR/><BR/>Mmm... the one thing I do love about Halloween--candy! I think I like just about all of them except candy corn (not candy, and not corn!)...

It appals me sometimes how many of even the littlest girl costumes are focused on being sexy. SO not appropriate! *shakes head* Then there's the fairy princesses and the wood fairies and the sack of groceries and - at my son't school parade - an oven mitt. Now I would have hated that costume, but this little girl was bouncing up and down like this was the coolest thing in the world. :> Biiiiig fun!Jeanne (AKA The Duchesse)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03492480881584553111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-21327218158769643822008-10-31T14:55:00.000-04:002008-10-31T14:55:00.000-04:00Jeanne, I'm so glad to see the cooler weather head...Jeanne, I'm so glad to see the cooler weather headed in our direction.

I have no desire to go into haunted houses, dark corn mazes, anywhere that plays scary music. ((shudder))<BR/><BR/>Jeanne, I need to go to your party and get in on all the fun!! There are things I like about Halloween, but the violence aspect of it bums me out. I don't really enjoy seeing little kids dressed up as serial killers. This seems wrong to me. <BR/><BR/>I'm also not crazy about the way women's costumes seem entirely focused on sex. There's the "naughty" nurse, "naughty" witch, "naughty" cheerleader, etc. I remember always being bummed out on Halloween as a teenager, because it seemed that every other girl had some gorgeous, sexy costume and I was dressed up as little bo peep. KWIM? :-P<BR/><BR/>BUT, lest you think I'm a Halloween grinch, I will say that I love seeing the little ones with creative, fun costumes. Not that I make any fun creative costumes, but I love seeing them. LOL. Our neighborhood has parade every year for Halloween and it's great fun, and there are some amazing costumes. My favorite this year was a guy who was a gas grill. Now that's not easy to pull off! <BR/><BR/>My son is a cowboy this year -- a dead cowboy -- and he is having a blast with his makeup. My little one is a fairy, and I get to be the fairy mama. :-) We are definitely trick-r-treating tonight!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-80114111637304047882008-10-31T13:33:00.000-04:002008-10-31T13:33:00.000-04:00Terrio, I think that's what it is with my frie...Terrio, I think that's what it is with my friend too. :><BR/><BR/>BTW, I adore cold weather.
