It's almost Halloween! Our kids have always worn costumes but we don't have decorations up at my house, we only what my daughter refers to as "boring fall stuff". She has often told me that when she is a "grown-up" she's going to have lots of Halloween decorations in her house. Whether you let your kids dress up and go trick-or-treating or not, it's a unique time we have to talk to our kids about death and scary things in age appropriate ways.
