So HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Sad to say that I procrastinated studying a bit last night, because Charlie Brown and the Great Big Pumpkin were on tv! I love Charlie Brown, but the Christmas episode is the best...can't wait for that one! All holidays get me in a cheerful mood! I always loved to dress up for Halloween. I probaby was a Princess for about 8 or 9 years...and I know I was a witch when I was real little and a unicorn. Otherwise I usually wanted to be a princess in some form or another! There aren't too many ways to celebrate halloween for big kids like me...so it makes me look forward to some day spending all holidays with my children. i know that I want to make my children costumes (just as my mom did every year). There are endless possibilities if you do it yourself!
My issue with Halloween this year (and every year that I've been in Grand Forks), there aren't many kids that go door-to-door. There is a big event at the Alerus center where the children go around the different booths to get candy rather than going out door-to-door. It is supposedly safer than going out at night. I agree it probably is safer, but that's not what it's all about! If parents go with their children trick-or-treating, they should be just as safe! I remember going out in blizzards! And on the few weekends leading up the halloween, we also went out to (I believe Linders Greenhouse??) a Halloween carnival-type. We got to wear our costume more than once, and got to go door-to-door and play halloween games. I know that a lot of kids don't go door-to-door in apartments (where I live), but it's sad what it's become!
FYI...I feel like a really old 21 year old talking like this. Back in the good old days.....HAHA
Have a safe and fun Halloween!

I, too, remember going out in blizzards. This was of course, the days where your parents could walk ahead or drive to the corner and it was ok. Sad!! Not sure if you decided toi listen to or buy the Britney cd, but you can listen to the whole thing here: http://music.msn.com/music/newthisweek
for free. I am sure you probably can on amazob as well. I listened to it tonight - and it is very different from what she has done in the past. I kinda like it!
