 |  | | From Amanda Rock, your About Parenting Editor | | | Ask any one of my kids and they’ll tell you that their favorite holiday is Christmas. But I’m their mom, and I can tell you that come October 1, they are begging me to hang up the Halloween decorations, asking what types of costume parties and parades we have on the agenda this month, and presenting me with their Top 10 list of potential Halloween costumes. | | | | Estimating Child Care Costs | | | | | Every year I give some thought to hosting a Halloween party. But by the time rolls around that I would have to actually plan something, all of our weekends are booked.

When I said yes, he was thrilled. “Great!” he said. “Now I can watch the Halloween episodes of all my shows!” I’m not certain the networks will be airing their October 31 episodes right this minute, but in the meantime, Carey has compiled a list of Halloween-themed episodes of your child’s favorite shows that are available on DVD.
