Happy Halloween

Nathan and i do not take the kids trick or treating. some family members think were ridiculous and that the kids are being deprived of a long time tradition but I'm sorry, times have changed and in our opinion its just not safe any more. its not just Halloween either, many things have changes. its unsafe for young kids to walk themselves to school or roam the neighborhood riding bikes and playing with friends. we cant even send our kid alone in a public bathroom cause they might get molested. so no trick or treating. we don't feel safe doing it and a big reason is because of the candy. i googled "drugs that look like candy" and the results i got were shocking! there are pictures and news clips of people handing out Halloween "candy" that are really drugs! its a hard truth and we hate it but we have decided to change with the times and instead of trick or treating we went the schneph farms and then let the kids hand out candy which they were more then happy to do so and they didn't seem to feel deprived at all. next year we will go trick or treating but instead of collecting candy were going to collect canned food and then donate it.

below are pictures of candy drugs, some i would know better and some i wouldn't have had a clue. all parents should google it and watch the clips!

here are the kids handing out candy they had so much fun!!!

i think this was ridges favorite part of Halloween! and he was so good at it. he greeted every one with "happy Halloween".and of course waved good bye to everyone

he had a hard time with this one though. he was ready to give the boy candy it was already in his hand but the little boy helped himself lol ridge was pretty upset

we hope everyone else had a good Halloween!
