Speaking about Halloween...

How old is TOO old to dress up and go Trick or Treating? I have to admit I miss the days when they would have costume parties at youngest DS's grade school. Now they don't dress up at the grade school. They have a party but they call it Fall Harvest!

for trick-or-treating itself...the last time I did that, I was in 6th grade, I think. Haven't since. Though I have seen kids my age (highschool) go trick-or-treating, but usually make the homeowners nervous when they stop at their house (fearing their home being egged or TPed? Or some kind of trouble I guess...).

So I think grade school and even the first year or two of middle school is still young enough...after that, it's "go buy your own candy."

And I know what you mean about school's not having holiday based parties anymore. I REALLY miss Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter parties...but that was a long time ago, and now it wouldn't be politically correct because of different religions and beliefs. It really sucks.

My 6th grader will be going out this year BUT she will be going out with her 5yo sister, her dad and myself. I think she'll get another year or 2 out of it. This year Halloween is on a Friday so I bet you'll see lots of older kids out and unsupervised!
