As Claire so aptly puts it, Halloween is the highest of holy days for me.
To know and love me is to understand my deep love of sugar. I think it stems from having sugar limited as a kid. Lesson learned, Mom; so I allow my kids to eat a ton, that won't backfire on me, right? As a result, all Sarah does is ask for treats ALL THE TIME. Yes, Mom, karma is a bitch.
I also love Halloween because there are no gifts to buy and if you're a slacker when it comes to costumes like I am, very little prep needed. We make a big pot of soup, buy an assload of beer and I stay up most of the night posting pictures and crushing the kids' Halloween score. I consider eating their candy my payback from the teething years. I have to protect those teeth and gums I heavily medicated with Advil, right?
So yes, I am that Mom who tells the kid what piece of candy to pick. Happy Halloween!
Good to see you guys blogging. Especially fun to read 3 glasses of wine in.
