OH, Halloween is just around the corner....

WOW, October will be here soon, and so will Halloween.....
I am sort of wishing Halloween would come and go and my kids wouldn't notice...
I must say, I have really NEVER wanted my children to Trick Or Treat.... I don't like the way halloween came about and like I said, wished my children didn't trick or treat. I found info here and here... just google it and there is a ton of info out there!!!! I don't know if it is bad to let your kids trick or treat.... but in my heart, I don't like it... and mostly this year it is bigger than ever with me to NOT have them go.... With the change in our eating habits, and getting rid of Dyes and Corn Syrup and Trans Fats, I just can't see my kids going out and getting bags of CRAP to bring home.... what will they do with it all?????
If you are not asking yourselves, WHY NOT JUST KEEP THEM HOME???? The answer is this.... My hubby INSISTS that they go.... He says he sees NO harm at all..... This is the same with Santa. I would LOVE to NOT DO Santa in our home, but he says that would be taking from the childrens lives... We do focus on Jesus at christmas, but of course they are children and get caught up in the whirl wind of santa.
Please remember when you read this.... it is ONLY my opinion.... Thing I feel are right and wrong in my heart.... I talk about Sex with my children WHENEVER they have a question.... I didn't tell them when I was Prego with my last baby that the stork will bring the baby or that she was growing in my stomach.... When they asked where she was growing, I explained the uterus... When they asked where she would come out of, I explained about God giving girls a special hole.... Some people are uncomfortable with these things.... I have told me 8 yr old about prision and drinking and driving , smoking and drugs, etc.... It is never toooo early! Kids are getting older YOUNGER.... they are doing things at 12 yrs old I didn't even know about until I was atleast 16 and didn't try until way later in LOVE!
OK this has all been a crazy tangent I have gone on... but I feel alittle better about figuring out what to do about halloween, Better have another talk with my hubby!

This is off the topic of Halloween, but yes, you should buy the Dave Ramsey book, "The Total Money Makeover". It is a great resource to have! You can probably get a used one off of Amazon for cheaper.
