Trick or Treat, Smell my Feet
We really enjoyed Halloween day this year. The three older kids knew what was coming and looked forward to trick or treating that afternoon. Even Everett understood that he could fill his bucket with candy by saying trick or treat. Amelia's hair stayed nicely curled from the evening before. After school we quickly got warmly dressed up since the wind was gusting a cool breeze. Everett was the warmest of our bunch, his hands stayed nice and warm. Warm enough to melt a handful of candy.
Downtown Sidney hosted a fun trick or treat event through most of the businesses on main street. The kids could come and visit all the little stores and get a candy in return. My friend Candice offered a free Halloween photo in her new studio. The main square was roped off. The local police and fire departments hosted a trunk or treat. It was super fun to see folks we know passing out candy, safety tips, flashlights, and glo sticks. We rushed home to warm our bones a bit and eat some dinner. I made a dinner from my Halloween childhood: Macaroni-n-cheese with hot dogs. Gross. The kids liked it and it was fast. Once Justin got home from work we ate and then headed to one of the popular neighborhoods. First we stopped at Golden Living center to show off the kid's costumes to some of our community elderly. The folks were arranged in a large circle passing out candy! Everett got a lot of attention with his cute turtle shell. It jiggles and wiggles in the cutest way when he walks around. Then we drove a short way and let the kids walk from house to house for a square block. Phillip took a cold and breezy potty break at the most inconvenient time. Hey! At least he did not wet his pants. At home Amelia and I walked down the street to visit her teacher Mrs Dobry. She only lives two blocks away. The kids ate a large share of candy then collapsed into bed. For the first night in a long while the kids stayed in their own beds. Bliss.
