Alice In Wonderland Is A Hooker?

What ever happened to Halloween being for the kids? Cute little ones parading around in their adorable fairy, spiderman, and witch costumes? So excited as they run up to your door, wondering if you have better candy than your neighbors. Of course, there is an exception to this rule. You are a parent. By which this means you have earned your right of passage to live through your child and go trick or treating all over again. You dress up to match your childs costume, maybe. You feel like you're 5 and it feels good! Just waiting to put the kid to bed and rummage through the bag! Because we all know that your one year old is not eating that butterfinger bar, but by God, you are going to show off that cute costume that you bought months ago!

Which brings me to the high school kids dressed as tramps. Did your mother see you were leaving your house with absolutely no clothes on? It's precious when a five year old is wearing Alice in Wonderland, but if you are still squeezing yourself into the same costume at 16, then I think it's time to move on. How did sexy police officer become sexy Belle and Alice! So as these soon to be adults are making their way up the drive way, I am thinking, wow! Is this really happening? With their no mannered self and just taking the candy right out of the bowl, not saying a word. Oh dear Lord! What is happening! There goes the sweet innocence of Disney Movies! Much to my surprise, this little girl comes up shortly after and I have to say, she was a doll! She thanked us very much for her candy and handed over a 'thank you stick.' Her mom and her painted popsicle sticks to look like candy corn and wrote thank you on them. I thought this had to be the sweetest thing ever! Talk about manners! Blew me away!!

We, however, did not get to take Davis on his first trick or treating experience last night and of course I'm bummed. His fever shot really high again yesterday, so we decided we had better take him into the doctor and see what in the world is going on. Pneumonia! Yes, that's right. Pneumonia! How in the world? I have no idea. My poor little guy is so sick and it makes me just want to cry for him. So instead, he sat in my lap on the front porch and helped me hand out candy to everyone. He is such a trooper and seems to be hanging in there pretty good. I am just crossing my fingers that he gets better soon!

I hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween!
