Halloween-Why does it have to come once a year?

Some of you may know that I am not a huge fan of Halloween. I actually enjoy sitting at home and handing out candy,but the dressing up,having my kids change their minds about their costume every week,and trick-or-treating in 20 degree weather I could do without. However,since I try to be a good mom,I go along with the whole shabang every year. Tyler decideed way back in August that he was going to be Superman for Halloween. So I went out and got him his costume in like September. Two days before Halloween he was throwing a fit that he had to be a Ninja Turtle-thank you Saturday Morning cartoons. He didn't win the fight though,he was still Superman. Once we got to the carnival at the school and all the high school bays were telling him how cool he was, he seemed to be better. Jay on the other hand could care less what he is for Halloween, so he got a hand-me-down costume from my sister. He was a tiger, and was actually pretty happy about it. Since we live in a really small town, we only had to go to like eight houses to trick-or -treat. They give you so much candy at once that your bag is full in like 15 minutes-it's great. I also tried making doughnuts for the first time this Halloween. My good friend Karla's mom always made doughnuts on Halloween, and for some reason I can't celebrate halloween without them-thanks Gaye! Usually I just buy them,but this year I went all out. My boys loved them!! I should have taken some pictures-oh well. Kevin says I have to make them often now-we'll see.
