Scary September
My kids are Halloween-crazy. They get that way every year around the first of September when the stores switch out their back-to-school displays for shelves full of plastic pumpkins and inflatable witches.
But I can't take two solid months of my kids talking non-stop about ghoulish decorations and creepy costumes, so last year ago I made a rule that we would not think about Halloween until after my birthday, which is at the end of this month.
This kind of backfired on me. When my wife asked the kids if they could think of anything special to do on my birthday, they answered, "Yes! Take Daddy to the Halloween store!"

Like they say...
Be careful what you ask for (or in this case "decree"), you may just get it!
Kids!
Yeah, it's kinda like my birthday. Which is in December.
"What should we get daddy for his--?"
"Who cares?! It's Christmas!"
I've been reading your blog for a bit. It's great! I just wanted to let you know that it is going to be featured next month on my website...www.SpokaneMama.com
Happy blogging!
It's never too early for Halloween.
Birthday Update!
My son marched into my office this evening to say goodnight. He also imparted these words to me:
"Daddy, guess what? Only seven more days!"
"Until what?" I asked.
"Until I can start thinking about Halloween!"
