Playing with my children (5 & 3) last night, the innocence of childhood took on new meaning with all that has happened over the past 6 to 7 weeks. It is our job as parents to ensure that our children are safe, all the while preserving the innocence and magic of childhood. Therefore, we will be trick or treating this year, and possibly exchange the candy for some we bought when theyre not looking (havent decided yet).
Bottom line: these terrorists will not steal my chidrens childhood by replacing fear with joy.
Happy Halloween!!!
And I've watched all the neighborhood children grow, measured by their Halloween appearances at my doorstep. I will be there with candy bars, as always. Osama can kiss my butterfinger!
Meanwhile, I'm going to try to find out where BilltheDrill will be passing out goodies.
[Let's see, first I'll be a "little old lady"... then I can be a "little old lady bird watcher"... hehehe...]
Happy parenting! I had a blast raising my kiddos. Even the tuff parts.
Godspeed
