emmagrant01HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
Halloween always brings so many good memories for me. It was one of the biggest holidays of the year for me as a kid, the first of the Holy Candy Trilogy -- followed by Christmas and Easter. (Yeah, I was raised Baptist, but it didn't stick.) It's been fun watching the kids come to the door tonight, so excited and proud of their costumes, and having a blast. And MDH and I have been sharing Halloween stories, talking about the one "haunted" house that's always in the neighborhood, the mean old people down the street who miraculously give out entire bars of chocolate at Halloween, and the fact that it was always annoying that your parents wanted to pick over your candy haul when you got home.
I even had a little Hermione come to door tonight! Hee!
