I Love Halloween!



I love Halloween!
 
I love watching my kids choose costumes and plan their outfits.
 
I love the carnival games at the fall festivities.
 
I love the food.
 
I love the simplicity of the holiday, not much expectation.
 
I love the fall colors as the leaves change and fall.
 
I love the crunch of leaves under my feet.
 
I love watching my children take in the season again with new wonder and new comprehension of what is happening. Everything is new each season.
 
To watch something through a child's eyes just brings extra details out for me.
 
And I enjoy it so very much.
 
I love watching my older kids teach their younger siblings and younger cousin new details of the season and holiday.
 
I love getting to run into other neighbors and see the happy smiles as candy is handed out.
 
I even love the candy sugar high that the kids get when I let them eat whatever.
 
I love seeing all the decorations and watching my toddler take it all in. Seeing the look in his eyes as he focuses on all this new stuff and tries to understand is just amazing.
 
I love watching everyone show off their creativity.
 
I just love Halloween.
 
I am especially excited because my husband actually gets to Trick or Treat with us next year for the first time in forever and we can celebrate as a family!
 
I think I need ideas for a family of 6 costume set!
