Just because...

Just because their growing up, doesn't mean they wont always be my babies.

Non-family Trick-or-Treating

In keeping with the holidays, here’s the new drama for the day. Every year my children and I go trick-or-treating. I find this whole process so tiresome. There’s picking out costumes, getting everyone dressed, and all the walking…Ughhhh. Don’t forget that somehow mommy always ends up carrying the bags.  I rather stay at home and give out (and eat) candy, but I figured I gave up that right when I had children. Anyway, of course this year with my older boys think that they are way to cool to go trick-or-treating with their mom and little siblings. So they have decided that they each want to go with a group of their friends. I told them that I didn’t think so. Flash back to my childhood years of growing up…egging people and houses, older children stealing our candy…Umm...No. Granted, my children are growing up in a Much nicer neighborhood, and their friends seem to be well behaved, but I’m still weary. One I think they are way too young. Two, I think they are growing up way to fast... (tears) LOL. and three, I really want help with the younger kids. (sad Face) So people my question today is are they

Too young for trick-or-treating with friends (too old for mommy)
