I made a quick Wal-Mart run over the weekend and I saw something that struck me in a strange way. As I walked past the costume aisle I noticed that most of those who were their perusing the shelves were adults - and they weren't buying costumes for their kids. We were talking about this at Community Group last night & it seems like Halloween is becoming more popular with adults. Someone else noted that not only are more adults buying costumes, but that the costumes are becoming skankier as well.

So what is the draw here? I was talking with the boys last night (Micah is still trying to figure out what he wants to dress up as) and they matter-of-factly said, "But you don't dress up for Halloween because you're an adult, right Dad?" I said, "You bet - trick or treating is just for kids." I hope I'm right. I hope my fellow post-adolescents are simply getting dressed up for some sort of Halloween get-together (aka 'costume party').

Not sure what I'll do if, while walking around with my kids a week from today, I find adults knocking on doors/ringing doorbells.
