Halloween

I danced between 3 class parties all at the same time this afternoon. The kids had a great Halloween! 

After school, Soren (and mom) napped and the kids were gluttons and free ranged on their candy loot from school. Then they played a monster memory match game grandma had left for them and romped around on the island out front looking for the snake they spotted out there yesterday. 

Dinner was a combination of Sonic corn dogs and a pot of beans I simmered in a crock pot all day, topped with corn chips. 

The kids ended up hitting the fridge for applesauce, apples, hummus and pretzels, cheese cubes, and basically anything that sounded good. Whatever man. They were still happy at 7pm after a looong day of junk and celebrating. I'm just happy everyone got along so well and no one melted down tonight. 

Pebbles was nervous when we went trick or treating around the neighborhood because most houses have tiny dogs. Quincy was certain they'd attack her hair to get to the bone. We finished trick or treating our street in just under an hour. I love my little neighborhood. Every house was waiting patiently for our children, had loads of candy and hugs for them. 

It was a chilly night (first freeze hits tonight!) and we were grateful for our neighbors at the very end of the street. They had hot dogs, juice boxes, and hot hands set up in a buffet on the porch for everyone trick or treating our street. Perfect little break before heading back to our home end of the lane. We might need to pass out cocoa or cider or have a fire going at our house next year to balance out the opposite end. 

And finally, it's bedtime. Corbin gives the baby a kiss every night, and tonight, Soren copied. 

This Halloween was full of sweetness!
