Most of my costumes growing up were biblical characters from the Old Testament. Those, of course, sucked. I would much rather perform on cue to get treats than be put in a lockout at the church gym dressed as David...I had no shirt on for crying out loud!

And that's very sweet about Jane and her friends. Kell – I still call the kids who come to the door in costume “Halloweeners,” so I know what you’re saying!

Ours has night hours though. So last year I made a big pot of soup and invited all our friends from Kent (with its loser day hours) over to go halloweening with us. (I made them call it that. My house, my rules.) The kids didn't sing (they all still don't believe me on that one) but the kids got loaded up with candy. Then, bless them, they all dumped their bags on my living room floor and traded out with Jane the gluten candy she can't have. Warmed my heart! It's frustrating that a lot of those little halloween size candies don't have ingredient lists, isn't it?
