There are mixed feelings among moms when it comes to Halloween. Some of my friends absolutely love it. They stock up on candy, go all out with decorations, throw parties, hunt for the perfect costumes for their kids, and make Halloween-themed lunch boxes and treats. Some even go as far as organizing a family costume. Others, including my fellow FCMB contributor Maria, could do without it. I fall somewhere in the middle – my kids are little and still relatively low maintenance when it comes to costume picking, and Halloween night consists of a quick stroll up and down our street with friends and then back to our house for pizza.
Whether you are on Team Yay or Team Nay, we hope you’ll get a kick out of seeing some FCMB contributors in their 1980’s Halloween glory. Without further ado…
