[blparent] Halloween

[Barbara Hammel]

I know I'm pathetic, but this is the first year my children have had 
costumes.  They are both doctors.  We didn't get to go to the church that 
has a pumpkin festival or fall fun night last night and we're not going 
trick or treating tonight but they did get to wear them at school.  Good 
thing they'll still fit next year.
It will be interesting to hear from school what they thought of costumes. 
Since it just goes on over the clothes there shouldn't be a problem, I'm 
thinking.
I'll bet the stethoscope and/or the name badge will come home chewed on or 
up.

When we have given out candy at our door, I don't care about the jokes.  I 
love to ask the children what they dressed up as.  That's what gets them the 
candy here.
Barbara

Snow is God's way of reminding us that beauty can be found even in the 
coldest hearts.
