Day 38<\/p>\n
I find that there are generally two types of people- those who love Halloween and those who don\u2019t. I am one of the latter, although I hold no judgement for the former. Generally, I run high on stress so added stress with little return isn\u2019t high on my list. And don\u2019t get me started on costumes.. But for these kids, I\u2019ll embrace the hocus pocus and make sure they enjoy this silly little holiday.<\/p>\n
Since I have a little more free time while on maternity leave, I was able to make little treat bags for #2\u2019s class, attend a parade at #1s school, AND \u00a0make it to the daycare parade for both. Last year, I totally missed the character book parade at #1s school ( not just missed attending- we didn\u2019t even realize she was supposed to dress up) so I would consider this a win.<\/p>\n
We have started reading Harry Potter so #1 decided to go as Hermione since she already had the curly hair down. Who knew this would be such a popular book character as there were no less than 35 kids dressed up in Gryffondor attire. But since the robe was so cool, #2 also decided she wanted to be a Hogwarts student so then we HAD<\/strong> to get another robe\u2026 and this is why I hate Halloween. Gone are the days when kids are just one thing for Halloween since there are so many events to attend. Well the jokes on you girls, because although I may seem like the sucker\u2026 you guys and the little one too will be some version of Harry Potter character until it doesn\u2019t fit anymore (there are a ton of Gryffondor students to choose from, or we could mash up Harry Potter and zombies.. the possibilities are endless, right?)<\/p>\n Positive Thought of the Day: For the second Halloween in a row, it was pretty much a rain-out. We did manage to host a little cousin pizza party and get in about 30 minutes of trick or treating. Limited trick or treating means a more appropriate amount of candy, more reasonable bed time, and less sugar hangover the next day. I\u2019ll take it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Day 38 I find that there are generally two types of people- those who love Halloween and those who don\u2019t.
