Is it too early to think about Halloween?

Anyone know what they are doing?

I am making a new Harry Potter robe. My son has grown out of his, but still wants to be one. Most of these stupid costumes bought in the store come in only 2 sizes, kids and adualt. We have looked in vain for an owl costume for his little brother, it would have been cute. However he's old enouph now to have an oppion about what he wants to be.

Otherwise bracing myself for the nightmare of my younger son on sugar. Two days after halloween we gather all the ramaining candy up and tos it out and hope the sugar gets out his system before we kill him, and this year since he now in school before he gets suspended.

I use to love Halloween, then I had children.

I like dressing my boy up.  Of course he is only 2, so we haven't hit the candy crack stage yet.  We're thinking of making him a Zombie this year...

My local grocery store was already stocking half an aisle of Halloween candy in late August.  When I walked by there, I thought "Oh geez, its almost the 31st, I gotta buy candy for all the trick-or-treaters!!! ... oh wait... I'm two months early... and so is QFC.  Thanks."

When I was a kid, one of my neighbors had this petrified wad of year-old Halloween candy.  Their kids couldn't have eaten it even if they wanted to.  Not without an ice-pick, at least.

My boy was a vampire his first Halloween.  Last year he was a nazghul I think... I dono what we're gonna do this year...

Well, following the trend, it should be something more specific and more obscure.  You know, something that none of the other kids will even recognize, like maybe one of the zombies from "Shaun of the Dead" or something.
