I can’t believe that Halloween is almost here. This week, I am trying to get in the mood and watching my favorite Halloween movies and specials. I am trying not to eat a lot of junk food. I have not bought candy to give out but went the chip/cookie/cracker route. They do not tempt me as much as chocolate does. I will eat all the chocolate if it is in the house. I LOVE chocolate.

The kids in Penacook and Boscawen go out on Gate Night which is the 30th. The weather is going to be a little cool – but other than that, it should be dry. Concord celebrates on Halloween. It is always nice when Trick or Treat lands on the weekend – it is more fun, I believe for the kids.

I remember going out with a group of friends and going all over Penacook on Gate Night. Most of the time we carried pillowcases to collect our goodies. I would eat every Reese’s that hit the bag and I really liked 3 Musketeer Bars as well. Talk about a sugar rush! When I got home – me and my siblings would trade goodies.

I loved going out into the night – being a little afraid ourselves – wondering who or what was going to jump out at us – while also spooking others a little too. It was great fun. I am always happy to see that kids still seem to enjoy the evening. For the most part – all control themselves.

Well – I will post again soon… I have to watch GHOST HUNTERS 🙂
