Halloween

I think Halloween is an adult holiday. Sure the kids love it for the candy, but lets be honest. Walk into any halloween super store. You don't see aisles and aisles of kid friendly decorations, props or costumes. Its all about the adults. Adults love a good scare, a chance to be someone or something they are not. They love a good party. And of course they love to see the kids in their costumes and to hand out candy.

I actually love Halloween. My husband does not. He is an educator, which means he is surrounded by kids on a sugar high and parents who celebrate Halloween more than Christmas. He dresses up every year and is a VERY good sport about it but is relieved once November 1st rolls around. This year, my office (Horsley Orthodontics) had costume theme of witches. The men in the office dressed up in scary costumes because for whatever reason, they did not want to be witches.

McKay didn't want to be something too scary for the kids, but did agree to be a monster...The Cookie Monster! For an adult party we went to, he actually dressed up as my broom because I was a witch. Good times.

We rarely hand out candy to the kids in the neighborhood. Not that we have anything against it, we have just discovered that if you want to walk right into a very busy restaurant (like The Cheesecake Factory), go on Halloween night!!

Here are a few of the highlights of our Halloween Holiday. Can't wait for next year...
