Where have I been?!

It's been awhile. I haven't put up the blog or the pictures that I promised. I have fallen into that kind of blogger. I am not sure what has happened. Wait yes I am! I have a toddler and rarely have a free moment to compose thoughts to put on my blog. I am going to try to do better.

Halloween---a little behind

So yes this blog is a little behind and of course I am sure everyone blogs about Halloween so here is mine. I remember as a kid I loved Halloween, the candy, the costumes my mom made, and the excitement of it all.
I can honestly say I don't so much love it anymore. As a matter of fact not at all really. I have never been one for the scary which is what the majority of people try to do for Halloween. I don't like the movies or the costumes. And this year if it hadn't been for the fact my grandpa bought my son a Tigger costume at a yard sale, he probably would have gone without.

I just don't feel the hype of it all anymore. I am not all that bent on taking B trick or treating door to door unless it's in a neighborhood I know well. This year we did however take him to the Kids' Costume Party at church. They have an AMAZING Halloween alternative. They have inflatables and lots of candy and games. This year the themes was a Knight's Adventure and the church was turned into a medieval castle. This is where we will be taking B every year. They had a room specifically for the ages of 4 and under. There were miniature inflatables for babies to play in and a ball pit. B loved the ball pit. He didn't want to get out. He had been fortunate enough to test it out the previous night when we were setting up for the event.

So while I am not to crazy about Halloween in general I will let him dress up and attend the costume party. But he cannot be anything scary or evil. That's my rule and I am stickin' to it!
