I’m a Halloween Convert.

23 Oct

Do you decorate for Halloween? It seems that Halloween is either a love it or hate it kind of holiday. Before I had kids, I didn’t love Halloween. Like, at all. You might even say I hated it. (Gasp) I didn’t decorate for Halloween, except maybe a sad, lonely pumpkin on the front step. Back then, Halloween just meant having to rush home from work (where I basically lived before having kids) just to pass out candy to strangers. But times change. These days we now we live on a cul de sac of 30+ kids. In a neighbourhood of 132,549 kids. (OK, maybe I exaggerate, but it seems like it some days). And, we have 3 kids of our own. Now, I’m a Halloween convert. I have to be, lol.
