I finally got a picture from my Halloween day at school! I was a pirate...Jack Sparrow to be exact and it was so much fun! At first I really think I scared the kids and they were like who is this person. Then after a while they started to warm up and ask me questions like, "Are you a pirate?" And then it would hit them...."Are you Capn. Jack Sparrow?" Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner! So it turned out to be a really good day! My favorite costumes that I saw during the school day were; Napoleon Dynamite and Pedro, mini mouse, and an army dude. I also thought it was funny that one girl who was also a pirate, similar to me, would wave and smile at me everytime I saw her in the hall, like we were shipmates. It was cute!
Onto my beef with trunk or treats, for Natalie....sorry I kept you waiting! It just irks me that trunk or treats have become the tradition for Halloween now! Think back to when you were a kid, walking around the neighborhood all dressed up, knocking on doors was the best part about Halloween...it's what we looked forward, or at least I did anyway. So my view may be different than yours because I am not a parent...but if you are worried about your kids not being safe because they are walking around outside.....go trick or treating with them! They don't have to go alone! And only go to the people that you know...that eliminates the mystery....it's just that simple! I know that the kids now have basically grown up only knowing trunk or treats, so they don't even know what they are missing out on! Plus I'm sick and tired of buying candy that no one ever comes to get! Let's revert back to the ways of our childhood next year. And now I'm done!
