They Grow Up so Fast and the Halloween Candy Goes with Them

I'll admit it, I'm a little bit sad this Halloween. I don't have a little one to get ready for a school Halloween party. I don't have a little one to help figure out a Halloween costume. To top it all off, my daughter is a big middle schooler now and thinks that this year just might be her last year to go trick-or-treating! And where will I get my free candy from next year?

So, all you parents out there, helping your children get ready to go to school all dressed up in their scariest or cutest this morning or for trick-or-treating Halloween night, enjoy. I'll probably be at home most of the evening - digging through my daughter's last Halloween haul, with tears in my eyes and a few Snickers and Reese's in my fists.
