Can We Expect Our Goodie Bags!?!

I just got a call from my daughter a few hours ago (she is a sophomore in college at Arizona State)...she's wanting to know if I'm going to be sending her and her roommates "goodie bags" for Halloween.

Yes, they are in college but they.want.their.goodie.bags!

I have been making my kids and their friends little treat bags for each holiday since they were in elementary school. I know I probably enjoy making them more than they enjoy getting them but it's just something fun to do.

Why should this holiday be any different from any of the other holidays except now the goodie bags arrive by mail. Sure kids...I'm on it! Only this time I'll be delivering them in person next week!

Oh and by the way, my daughter tells me that Tim, a longtime friend has inquired about his goodie bag for Halloween. I've been instructed that I can just send his to his dorm at Cal Poly University in San Luis Obispo where he is a sophomore too! Like I said, I'm on it!

I miss Halloween, no one celebrates it here.

These special things that you do create wonderful feelings and memories for your children and clearly alot of other people who have shared time in your life.
