Halloween

Posted in Halloween, pumpkin | 5 Comments
 I was in the grocery store yesterday, picking up some candy for today (and a few other things – after being house-bound for the previous week, it was nice to just get out of the house for a while.) While standing in line at the check-out, I listened to the woman behind me chatting with a different cashier. The woman was also buying candy and the cashier was quick to point out how much she disliked Halloween. That it was too played up as a holiday. That there are so many bad things going on in the world today and kids didn’t need to be exposed to additional horrors. She also didn’t get trick-or-treating. The woman with the candy quickly noted that this candy was for a church function. Her kids were doing the trick-or-treating thing at church. No scary costumes were allowed.

Not much of a post today, I’m afraid. Connor’s temp has been running over 104 the last two nights. The doc did call us today to confirm strep so he’s on antibiotics now, but it will probably be tomorrow before we really see any sort of improvement. And so, I guess that’s about it. Tottering back to the couch now to hold my little boy.… Read more
