Let’s use the spirit of Halloween to Help Us Be More Human All Year ‘Round

Mom celebrating the Halloween spirit Halloween is a season of fun, costumes , and candy . Indeed, it has become a favorite of mine. The kids get excited about their costumes, and spending the evening visiting neighbors and receiving candy in response to their declaration of, " Trick or Treat "! All around the country, neighbors open their doors and give candy to anyone who shows up seeking it. Upon reflection, it is a beautiful tradition that embodies the generosity of the human spirit. I was talking to someone yesterday and commented about how much I have grown to enjoy it and wished that it could last for more than one night.

Aunts are the angels God sends to children

Aunt and nephew

"[T]he model middle child is patient and likes to take care of everyone." -Jennifer Garner

My sister and my seven year old share the same birth order. They are  both the middle child. And this has given them a bond. She gets the challenges he has with distinguishing himself in a family with a talented and assertive older sister and a super cute, gregarious little brother. 

She listens to him and she helps him shine. She also came up with a song that has made him think that middle children are the absolute best. I love her for that!

The Middle Child Rock

The middle child rocks!!!

The middle child rules!!!

(Repeat both lines at the top of your lungs with gusto!)

It's been said that "[i]t takes a village to raise a child." That is absolutely true. My sister makes me a better mom because she compensates for me in areas where I am lacking. She is also much more fun than I will ever be!

I agree. I really like "The Middle Child Rock's" chant. As a middle child and an Aunt. I can relate. What a good read.
