Halloween is in two days and it's been keeping us busy since the weekend. Shopping for costumes is always a last minute deal. I'm not big on Halloween. Maybe it's my religious upbringing, maybe I'm just too much of a girlie girl - never liked scary or gory movies. For the last few years, my daughter has been a princess and my son a cowboy. Both are fairly easy costumes to put together. This year it's a witch and a ninja - also very easy. Again, the witch thing makes me uncomfortable because of my church background, but I'm not going to sweat over it. She's seen plenty of Disney movies with witches in them. To her it's just a character.
Hubby and the kids decorated for the blessed event tonight. They carved a giant pumpkin and put up the lights, cobwebs and skeleton. (Or are they spider webs? I guess I can't blame the cobwebs on them) I got a headache just in time not to have to participate in the activities.

I wish that I was one of those super-mom's who sew elaborate costumes for the kids every year and bake yummy halloween treats for everyone at school. I wish I was the cool mom who was organized enough to throw a party for every holiday. I am not that mom though, and I don't know why. It's not that I don't have the time. Sorry kids
