Halloween

Halloween is not on the top of the list as one of my favorite Holidays (take a deep breath Katie, I mean no harm) but now that Millie is 4, it is hard to pass it by without her noticing. Although my mom did a great job making awesome costumes for us when we were little, the thrill was just not there. We had to get in the car with our winter coats because it was always freezing and then we drove to...3 houses. Thinking back, my mom was really cool about it. Of course, we did not appreciate the hand made costumes at the time, ungrateful me always longed for the plastic costumes at Target that all the other cool kids got to buy. But now my mom has the neatest dress up box at her house with about any kind of accessory you could imagine.

I would like to say I carried on this tradition of high quality costumes for my kids but I didn't. Millie wore a Spider Man costume we got her for Christmas last year and Reed wore a hand-me-down Manning jersey that was Millie's that she wore when the Colts played in and won the Super Bowl a few years ago. I did think ahead enough and we got Millie a can of silly string so she could web all the people after they gave her candy.

Sorry kids, I am just not as cool as your grandma is...but I guess that is why they like her better than me anyway :-)
