When I was young, my best Halloween memories were of my Dad dressing us up for trick-or-treating, and us not even being able to tell people what we were because we were a mixture of a lot of different things!. Those were the best costumes. I remember wearing his tie and and what I referred to as his “dress hat,” and thinking that it was the best costume ever. We would go out for what seemed like hours trick-or-treating, and then come home and he would check our candy. It was simple but fun, and I loved spending that time with my family.
As Halloween approaches, I love asking the kids what they are going to be for Halloween. I am always amazed at their creativity. I also ask them if they have any traditions that they do every year. A few that were shared included pumpkin decorating, bonfires, flashlight tag, scavenger hunts and lantern making.
Hopefully I will see a lot of you this evening at trunk-or-treat. Please enjoy your Halloween traditions with your kiddos and thank you for sharing them with us. Each day I am thankful to get to spend my day with them.
Happy Halloween!
