It's Halloween!! And I'm so excited, because I frickin LOVE Halloween. Everyone's all dressed up and there's candy and treats and just a lot of fun. I love passing out candy and seeing all the cute little kids dressed up like Spider Man or Cinderella or a Firefighter. I love seeing their faces light up when you drop pieces of candy into their pumpkin shaped buckets. It makes me miss how simple life was when I was 6. Those elementary years were so carefree and just fun. You had holiday parties, and brought in snacks for the whole class when it was your Birthday. You celebrated everything when you were little! I wish it stayed like that as we got older.
Two days ago the little girl I babysit for turned 7. As I was talking to her mom and she said that Mady was SO excited for her birthday and could not wait to go to school and celebrate with her class. I told her to tell Mady, "Enjoy it! Sadly, birthdays aren't as big of a deal the older you get." and this is so true! Why don't we celebrate things like birthdays and holidays that much anymore? Why, as adults, do we not place as much value on these things? I think we need to bring back the Halloween parties in the high school. I mean half the kids at school aren't even dressed up today! What is that all about? Let's get back to basics and enjoy the simpler things in life. Happy Halloween.
