Along with the adjustments that come with a new Jr. High teen, came the end of a few of our October traditions. My teens have lost interest in going to a pumpkin patch and have no desire to dress up in costume, going door-to-door trick-or-treating. At the end of this month, we’ve come to realize that it is us, the parents, who are mourning the loss of these family traditions.

We knew this was coming, but it still didn’t take the sting out of losing these traditions. As parents, I know we’re going to have to get creative with a few new traditions in order to connect with our teens. That part we haven’t figured out yet. This year I bought costumes for our kitties, and dressed them up and snapped photos of their sweetness. For my own pleasure, here are the results.
