When I think of October, I think of falling leaves, chilly weather, sweaters...but mostly Halloween. I love Halloween. It is my second favorite holiday. And if we didn't have Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas wouldn't be nearly as fun.
As a child, I loved Halloween because I loved to dress up, go trick or treating, jump in leaves, and eat candy. Even after I graduated from trick or treating, I would plan Halloween parties with my friends and go to dances, still dressing up. I've been a witch, a cat, a princess, a mad scientist, a knocked-up white trash bride, and many other ridiculous personifications.
But I never really knew that my love of Halloween would carry into adulthood. I think I might love it more than I used to. I get nervous and jittery just thinking about getting out my fall decorations, carving pumpkins, and baking all kinds of autumn treats. I love buying Halloween candy, perusing the various stores and their fall/Halloween stuff. And I love planning my Halloween party menu, decorations, and invitations. And this year, I love thinking about dressing up my baby boy and showing him off at the parties.

I love Halloween too. We look forward to it for months - talking about our "costume themes" is a favorite topic in this house.
