After Halloween

We made it through Halloween! The world didn't end because we didn't Trick or Treat. We went out to dinner with Jim's parents and the girls wore their costumes in the restaurant and within 5 minutes the costumes were itching and they had to take them off. Then we drove over to Target and purchased each girl a bag of candy. They were happy as little princesses. All three of them! I had no conviction and we were all good with it.

In my five year old daughter's class they were asked to vote on "Do you like Halloween?" I have never said to any of my girls that we are not to like Halloween - in a effort for them not to judge others in any way. But when I went to help in the class on Halloween Day. My middle daughter was the only one who voted "NO". This is our daughter with Cerebral Palsy. So, when we got home I asked her why she voted no. She said she doesn't like the scary costumes and that's why she doesn't like Halloween. I had no idea that was her thoughts - I was proud of her for not going with the crowd and standing alone.

Remember, I am not saying if you participate in Halloween you are bad ~ I am only going on my own convictions!!!!

Love,
Sandra
