My halloween was a bit different this year. First of all, my husband was out of town, my one daughter went over her friends to trick or treat, and my other daughter went to a party at church. So no family around. Also, I didn't get around to carving a pumpkin this year. First time since I started a family. I was going to get around to it Saturday, but since no one was home to enjoy it, I opted out. I did pass out candy, though. I even had a couple older people come around for free candy. I mean MUCH older! It was kinda weird. They were by themselves and could have at least put a costume on. Any-hoo, I also had a few girlfriends over and we ate food, caught up, and watched the movie "Enough". We watched Jennifer Lopez kick her abusive husband's butt after the trick or treat rush was over. It was a good night. Gaining an hour is always great, too! The rest of the weekend I went to church, caught up on housework and homework, and went to visit my mom.
Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI am also a mom, I know how holidays change as your kids get older. I have not carved a pumpkin with my own kids for over five years. I work at Head Start with preschoolers, so I still enjoy sharing all of the Halloween excitement with them. I think it's kind of odd about your "older tick-or-treaters," but there are a lot of odd people in this world.
