Happy Halloween
Oct 31 2009
I remember Halloween being one of my favorite holiday’s of the year as a kid and even as I got older. This year my son dressed up as a scary skeleton, my daughter dressed up as a princess, and I dressed up in an Egyptian princess (Queen Nefertiti) costume I’ve had laying around for probably 8 years from a Halloween party we had at the house. I think I surprised a few people who came to the door. 🙂
In the last few years, I haven’t been that motivated to put on the costume while their dad took them out around the neighborhood. So I usually greeted people in my blue jeans and sweatshirt. This year I went around the neighborhood with my daughter after my son had gotten his fill and decided he’d rather stay at home with his dad watching the UT Longhorn football game.
In the ghoulish, scary days of Halloween and other such stuff that can cause some nervousness, here’s a quote from Jeffrey Fry’s email list.
“We were not created to be eaten by anxiety, but to walk erect, free, unafraid in a world where there is work to do, truth to seek, love to give and win.”
— Joseph Ford Newton
Now we have to figure out what to do with all this Halloween candy! We still have some left over from last year as we dole it out slowly throughout the year. I told the kids that we’ll have to throw out the old stuff to make room for the new. 🙂
Happy Halloween!!
