  Kid 1st Halloween..too much like door to door

  by LyinEyes in

  ok , we got the little ones all ready to go trick or treating right...... they freaked the first couple of doors, scared to death to say anything to the people at the door.

  i was laughing so hard because they must have thought it was like the scarey days of going door to door in the ministry.

  after another house , we decide to go to the carnival in town and see what was going on there.

  I posted this on another thread, so I will post it here too.

  The first time I ever trick-o-treated was when I was in foster care. I was 15 and had never done this before. I had only been in the foster home for maybe a week before Halloween. Needless to say I was just recently df'd and READY to be "evil". I had a blast and wished I had been able to do this as a small child, seeing that I would have enjoyed it more.

  This Halloween, my sister and I (for the first time celebrated together) took our boys to the mall for trick-o-treating. We felt it a little to close for comfort to go "door to door" and felt it safer to go to the mall. With all the crazy things happening we would rather be in a public place. My son dressed up as a Ninja of death, I dressed up like a medival "commoner" , my sister wore a long velvet hooded cloak with dark makeup (kinda like a sorcerous or vampiress), and my nephew also had a cloak on (he is 3) with a silver (hockey mask type) mask that he refused to keep on. We didn't get bags and bags of candy, but it was enough and we all had fun. We had our pics made of us, I may have Valis post it for me. I will have to ask him.

  I enjoyed myself with NO GUILT!!!!! For JW's to judge others or pre-judge others is much worse a sin than to dress up and get candy from people who are more than willing to give it to the kids and to be in good spirits with total strangers. I see nothing wrong with it!!!

  Hope everyone has the chance to experience the fun we as children could not enjoy. Remember the saying------You are only as old as you feel!!!!!!!!!! So, let the child in you come out and you won't regret it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  HAVE FUN EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

  i know it sounds like something else lol.

  know really i have moved 5 times in 7 years and it is really getting to me, you see i rent from landlords usually 2 bedrooms flats or a house and it seems like we keep moving into houses etc that eventually get done up and are then charged a lot more rent,and ill tell you something these landlords have know sympathy for my 3 yr old son and wife, i just want to settle down.. have you had these problems with stinkin landlords.. also the new area im moving may not support broadband internet and im still bound to my existing contract,the reason there may not be support for broadband is because of demand 4 it in certain areas has to be 20 persons minimum

  When I was still living at home my father was working in contruction and we moved alot. I hated moving schools so much. At least your son isn't in school yet and hopefully you can find a place before he starts school. I am sure it is hard on your family now, and I know moving isn't any fun. I hope you find something soon.

  Love,

  the nice lady living next door to me lost her husband last year and finally decided to move in with relatives.

  although we only had a nodding acquaintance, i was sorry to see her go.

  the "for sale" sign did not stay up long.

  Of all the people to move in next door--is what I would have been thinking!! Sorry for the bad luck, and keep us posted. Maybe they are not the "strong" JW type, just simple minded and need to be told how to live (judging from your description anyway).

  First Halloween

  let me say first of all, i have never been a big fan of halloween.

  the witches, monsters, etc, never appealed to me.. last night, my family and i were invited to a friend of a friends house for food and trick or treating.

  my first inclination, was to find a way to weasel out of it.

  WOW the written review!! I haven't heard that term in 12yrs!!!

  Since I left so young all my reviews were reviewed by my father to see how much I had learned from past meetings. I hated that part of it since what we missed was at times the family study focus for the coming weeks.

  I did like the written review since it would eat up most of the meeting time and seemed to fly by after the review and the Q&A were over.

  I wish someone would have pulled those kinda stunts in my hall!!!!!!!!!! MAN my dad would have been the first one up to try and contain the situation!!!!!!!!! What a site it could have been!!! LMAO Wild Turkey I can't wait to see you guys again on the 9th!!!!
