I just came from K-Mart where I had to buy sweatpants to go under Jonah's Gladiator costume and two more bags of cheap candy. We keep eating them. Damn those tiny Snickers.
We entering the high holidays of Halloween -- three days of parties. If my kids tolerate their costumes for longer than five minutes, I'll be surprised.
There's a ragamuffin parade tonight where all the residents of the town march through the dark from the fire house to the middle school where they hand out donuts and cider. The town walk in the dark and in silence creeped me out last year. I was sure that at the end of the walk someone going to get stoned to death.
Then lots more festivities until Monday night when we'll wade through the leaves and pound on doors. Give us candy! It's a good day.
What are you doing for Halloween?
