This weekend was Halloween. I love the holiday and am so happy to have moved into a
neighborhood that takes the occasion seriously! The afternoon started out with a D.J., a juggler on stilts, a cake walk, and multitudes of other games..not to mention plenty of food and beverage to entertain the adults!!! What a great fall day to enjoy the company of the neighbors.
After the festivities the orange buckets came out and the kids were on the move. Pails to fill, along with pillow cases for the bigger kids. I think that was the ultimate goal for my children...to
see how full they could get the pillowcase and then come home and divide the candy into
categories.
Something magical about getting the most chocolate!
Down in Florida Mandy and Tim were out with little "B" teaching her the art of knocking on doors.
From what I
understand it did not t
ake her long to get the hang of "Trick or Treat" and oh, wow something goes in this little bag!!!
Next year she will be big enough to understand that Mom and Dad do not get all of the candy!!And next year they will be home and we will get to share the excitement of all the holidays...what a wonderful thought!
