"happy" halloween.

Yesterday was Halloween.  I'll openly admit, it's not my favorite "holiday" and the reason it's in quotations is because I don't exactly feel it holds Holiday (with an upper case H) value.  I never celebrated October 31st as a child other than the annual trip to Chuckie Cheese to avoid greeting trick or treaters that would inevitably stop by our house for candy.  Additionally, I'm not into ghosts and ghouls and all things scary.  I don't even like horror or slasher movies.  It's just not my thing.

That being said, I have no real qualms about letting my child(ren) dress up in costume and carry around a little pumpkin with which to collect pure sugar.  Delia was too young this year, for her first Halloween, to have any idea what was happening.  She's certainly too young for candy in my opinion, but we did dress her up anyway and walk to a few houses with our other nieces and nephews.  Ironically, her very first time trick or treating was also mine and it felt rather odd.

Here's a picture of my little lamb from the night.
