Hallowe'en appears to have left our family!!!!

Months-long Hallowe'en years appear to have passed us by!!  Goodness, Ben used to be obsessed with this holiday, now it's going to be over in a few days and we have hardly paid any attention to it!!!
We did put this decoration up in the yard last weekend, but all the others are still in the basement.  Ben has tested the fog machine, but now it lies abandoned in the garage!!  What on earth is going on?  Ben is definitely growing up, there are all kinds of things that he doesn't want to do any more and it's making me sad....
Ben doesn't have a big party at school any more, but Maggie should have a parade on Wednesday.  At this rate, she will be the only child in the school without a costume!! Maybe I can get her one today..
