Trick or Treat!!!

We really don't celebrate Halloween the traditional way. We call it our Trick or Treat night. We do let the kids trick or treat at a few of our neighbors houses that we know and we usually wear our costumes and go have a fun lunch and play at a park in costume. We don't go to haunted houses and we do stay clear of the more evil side to it. We went to Walgreen's last year and I couldn't believe how creepy their store looked it really scared our kids. We debated on if we would celebrate it at all but this family tradition seems to work and the kids love to dress up and go trick or treating on our street. Plus since the kids see all the Halloween decorations in the stores we have since explained the holiday and answered their questions about why the stores get so crazy with it and scary. So now we stay clear of Walgreen's and all Halloween stuff at the stores it has just gotten so creepy. This is about as "spooky" as we get! We bought this candy corn candy a few weeks ago so I cleaned out my apothecary jars and we put our fun flavored candy corn in our treat jar and Ethan's cool spiders in our trick jar. He almost didn't let me use them because he wanted to make a web for them. But since he now can get a piece of candy corn a few times a day he decided that he would "let" me borrow them he said! :) And thanks again to my friend Paula for the neat signs, the apothecary jars I think turned out very fun!
