I’ve mentioned before that Fall is my favorite season. That is in great part to Halloween (it’s not all about K-State Football). I think it’s great fun and have very fond memories of my childhood Halloween festivities – hours of trick or treating followed by candy sorting and swapping with friends. One year myself and my gal pals dressed as the Pink Ladies from the movie Grease and I was Frenchie. Another year Megan and I dressed as bums, getting our costumes from the Salvation Army. As I got into junior high I remember walking the streets of Fairbury soaping cars and holding hands with a boy. Good times. Well, to help pass on the love of the holiday to Connor we spent much of the past few days at Halloween celebrations and events. Quite frankly, it feels like I’ve celebrated Halloween 4 times and it’s not even the 31st yet. But, at least we’ll get all the good out of the $20 Spiderman costume as possible.
