Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween Everyone! Everybody ready for some trick-or-treatin? I have been having an onslaught of Halloween memories this year. I have a couple of friends who are Ga-ga over Halloween and it seems that as a teenager I was always being roped into dressing up for some party. And since I really don't like Halloween, my way of rebelling was to go as something like a garbage sack.

This year our eating habits went a little topsy turvy with the news of Nikell's Celiac and the further news of her lack of digestive enzymes making it so she couldn't have sugar of any kind. So what to do about Halloween? We sat down and talked it out and decided that a stay at the Marriott would be just the party for us. Swimming, movies, popcorn, and maybe even a little candy (and even on a school night!).

Little did my children know that the "Boo Humbug" in me was dancing with delight over skipping Halloween. No costumes to worry about. No candy to either hide from the kids or force them to eat it all in one night. I still get giddy just thinking about it.

Before my Halloween Freak Friends break down and cry over my total lack of enthusiasm over this holiday...let it be known that we DID carve pumpkins. See? I can compromise.
