Halloween is one of my favorites...
It does not pretend to be anything it is not...
pure and simple...
it is about
..Dressing up and being someone else...
and the acquisition of CANDY!
The kids now really like to INVENT their own...
Phoebe came up with this one...
she even had the song on her IPOD and played it while she trick or treated...
AND it was durable enough for her to wear it ALL day at school
and
last night!

My daughter is the exact same way - it's all about the conquest, not so much about the eating. In fact, I know I ate more than she did yesterday. I was even scoffed at for suggesting a caramel apple was a 'healthy' sort of snack! (hey, it's got an apple in there, right?).
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!!! Just like chocolate and yogirt covered raisins and ALL kinds of Pie...all are healthy FRUIT dishes!
