Halloween should be named "Children's Day" -- as it's arguably everyone's favorite holiday.

We carved pumpkins (well, mom and dad carved, the kids watched). Everyone chose their own face. Mom's was silly, Dad's looked a lot like a pig, Tommy's was supposed to be scary, but mom achieved surprised instead, and Maria's was sad.

The next day, we put on the costumes and had a marathon trick-or-treating session. Next year, Mom is going to set a time limit!
