Happy Halloween! What are your memories of Halloween? I can say that it has never been my favorite day. As a kid I always thought dressing up for Trick or Treat was kind of weird, but I always went along because the pay off with candy made up for it all! And since I don’t like being scared out of my wits, the whole idea of scary houses and sticking your hands in cooked noodles (aka worms) wasn’t too much fun for me.
I do think that setting aside a day for some fun is a good idea. Our kids deserve to have some fun that involves no video games, and actually gets them out of the house around other children…not to mention walking more than they usually do, from house to house, even if it is for candy! J
One thing that we need to do as parents or grandparents is make time for some genuinely fun activities that get you and the kids outside. Enjoy some fresh air and share the goodies! Have a great day! “Now, let’s get going!” xo Sally
