how to ruin halloween

• get your daughter the costume she has begged for even though you had to go to a bunch of stores to find it, it is more than you wanted to pay, you don't really like it, and it is several sizes too big (but the only one they had) and get her sparkly silver shoes because you are so nice and know that she will love them
• make your son be a tiger with a costume that has a hood but don't make him wear the tiger pants because it is 65 degrees outside
  
• go to the ward party instead of trick-or-treating in your building (which oddly enough took place the day before Halloween) and still come home with loads of candy
  
• take your kids to Boo at the Zoo where they get to ride the carousel, play in a hay maze, and trick-or-treat to the different exhibits where they get yummy, healthy treats but NO candy
• watch a movie, drink SunnyD, and eat popcorn and m&ms
• skip out on trick-or-treating because everyone is tired, your dad has the flu, there are not really any houses nearby to trick-or-treat to, you already have more than enough candy, and it is sprinkling rain and thus ruin halloween for the year
