So I just had this major epiphany about Halloween. First, you should know that it's my 2nd favorite holiday (behind Christmas). And my kids? They are in love with Halloween. If you were to look at them and say "If you love it so much why don't you marry it?" they would be all "OK. I will totally marry Halloween. DONE."
But lately, I've come to realize that in spite of my love for it, Halloween is sort of against me. Because if you ask my kids what they love most about it, it's all the things that I - as a parent - dislike about the holiday.
Here is what I'm talking about - in handy little graphic form:
See? I'm right. But I still love Halloween.
xo, Lydia
