The Halloween holiday is
always such fun! I love seeing the kids in costume, and handing out the candy
while wearing my “good” witch costume. It bring back memories of my kids when
they were little, and one time my son dressed as “Karlif the Mummy,” and lost the
wrappings as he went from house to house. Lucky he had long johns on underneath!
