We've had a busy fall. And now, the leaves have mostly fallen, Halloween has come and past and here we are in November. How is that possible? It's hard to keep up.
Last weekend, we enjoyed a few Halloween parties with friends, school costume parades, carved our pumpkins and of course, trick or treating around town on Halloween night.
Cece is almost 4. What that really means is that mom is losing her pull when it comes to Halloween costumes. I don't have as much sway as I used to. So, when Cece decided she wanted to be a mermaid for Halloween back in early September, I didn't have much choice except to embrace the idea and find the best mermaid costume I could for her. She loved it, of course.
Sully was a construction guy. It made sense. He loves tools, toolbelts, diggers, trucks. But the selling point for me was the muscle man look and tattooed arm sleeves.
The kids figured out trick or treating pretty quickly. Once Sully realized what everyone was handing out, he just wanted to sit down and eat candy. A few times he also tried to sneak onto one of the many tractor hayrides that lined the street in the neighborhood we went to (the same one I used to trick or treat in when I was a kid!). We went to several houses and then headed home to teach the kids about the art of trading candy.
And now, almost a week later, the house is still full of Halloween candy, the yard is full of fallen leaves to rake, and we are whizzing on toward the birthday and holiday season. Hold on!
