We lived in Ohio and they were NOT the nice finished basements of today. We did play in one of them, but there were a few spots that creeped me out. I don't think about Christmas too early, though I am on the hunt for an artificial tree this year.

Some American families living here in Waterloo, tried to introduce their Halloween tradition it became already better, I see more and more Halloween decorations and costumes, and in schools they celebrate a bit now, but that's it. Maybe in other towns there is more, I don't know.

But I have come up for air and I hope to return to blogging again, here and there. Had forgotten about all things blog-related including hodgepodge until I read a friend's responses to last set of questions. Hoping to get my post up tomorrow for this week.<br /><br />That's the thing about childhood fears...I think they are unfounded. I was scared of my grandmother's basement, too. Bet I didn't go down there more than twice but it was scary both times.<br /><br />You are going to have a fabulous Halloween!! It is absolutely all about the kids. And it sounds like your daughter has created some very special costumes for your grandchildren. I can't remember where in Tennessee your daughter lives. I am a Tennessee gal...we lived in Memphis. And my sister has recently moved to Crossville. I will be there in 2 weeks to see her new house.onceuponatimehappilyeverafter.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14496967140182523960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-14205289573412607062022-10-26T19:52:05.401-04:002022-10-26T19:52:05.401-04:00How lucky you are to spend Halloween with your lit...How lucky you are to spend Halloween with your little guys. All our littles live away now so we don't get to join the chaos anymore. My daughter lives in a neighborhood just like your daughter's... it's a wonderful place for our grands to grow up.

It has low ceilings and lots of dark corners. The 'pantry' was down there and so was the washer and dryer so I got sent down often. It was always a fast run!!

There is 0% chance of us getting trick or treaters at our door where we live. Our grands' parents make the drive over here so Addy and JJ can knock on our door for treats so that is fun. Our DIL always comes up with an interesting theme for the whole family to dress up. Last year they were smores. Looks like you are in Tennessee already? Enjoy your time in the fun chaos with those excited boys!! ellen b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14531430948905935301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-35759536652101464862022-10-26T11:29:41.184-04:002022-10-26T11:29:41.184-04:00That's a nice description of who you are.
