[blparent] Halloween

Fri Oct 30 16:11:18 UTC 2009

I really haven't started giving candy to Sarah yet.  She'll probably get 
animal crackers or maybe Cheerios, depending on her mood.  Next year, we'll 
think about making a bigger deal out of Halloween.  This year, it's cold and 
snowy, though that's kind of a tradition--they should have Halloween in July 
when the kids can go out and run around to their hearts' content.
