On the train this morning I saw some kids dressed up like freaks, on their way to school. It made me miss the good old days. In grade school, even though we still had to go to school on Halloween, it was like a freebie day. We never had to do any work. We would wear our costumes to school. Generally there would be a parade around through all of the classrooms, so you could check out all of the costumes. Then we would go back to home room, eat some cupcakes/candy, drink witch’s brew and watch Legend of Sleepy Hollow, or Watcher in the Woods. That is exactly what I wish I could be doing today. Hanging out with my friends, all dressed up like freaks, watching the adventures Ichabod and gang. And they say that pagan holidays are meaningless.
Happy Halloween!

I always wonder what they did in public school for Halloween. I always had fantasies that all the kids dressed up, ate candy and watched movies all day……I guess I was right and totally missed out.
Um, being homeschooled. My mom would hide our candy from us and let us have once piece a day. And my mom never bought new costumes so we had the choice of being the following EVERYT SINGLE YEAR:
Hobo
Witch
Cheerleader
Clown
I was usually the witch or the cheerleader. My mom made Erin be the clown like 5 years in a row. There was also a lion costume that was for the current youngest child. It was just a pair of light brown footie pajamas and an elborate lion’s main wig type thing.
This comment has gotten rather long. Pardon me.
