Getting a feel for this Halloween header. Our family was one of many homeschooling families that fell 'hook, line and sinker' for staying away from certain things. And while my husband will stand by his view of the 31st being a wicked holiday, I'm tending to loosen up in my old age. I have so many happy memories of trick-or-treating. 'Course it's not the same nowadays, but still, the dressing up and going door-to-door was always fun.
And with middle daughter having her birthday on Halloween, that fact alone puts a festive air to the day. We carve a pumpkin with her name on it and turn out the overhead light in the dining room in favor of candles. Pretty.
I've done my share of fussing about Harry Potter in the past, but have ended up being a fan. I go to the movies when they come out with our older children. I enjoy vampire movies, and am a Twilight junkie. Edward makes me smile.
Call me a wanton woman, but I do love many things that some of our acquaintances and friends have chosen to move away from. That's all fine. But for me...I choose to live dangerously. :)
