My older daughter turns 4 on Halloween, and we are trying to schedule her party.

We have decided where we would like to have her party, but we can't quite decide on the right date to do it. Halloween falls on a Thursday this year, so the Saturday before is the 26th--it seems so early to have it. And full disclosure: I have signed up for a run that day, but also coerced friends to sign up with me. I could still do the party that day, it would just be a little crazy.

The Saturday after her bday is November 2nd. Is it weird to have a party AFTER your proper bday? Or is that normal?

Am I over-thinking this?
