Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Halloween! Hope you all had a ton of fun, got lots of walking done, and a heavy bag of candy to add some resistance. =[:-)B
From my ninja and my vampire, too!
Other years, I have insisted on having ridiculous professional-type pumpkings. I carve ghosts, pumpkins, grave stones, etc. But it was really all kind of compensating for hearing constantly about how I couldn't live up to other people's expectations. (This all stems from issues in the past - a post for another day.) But now I see how much more fun it is to just let the kids take a pen and go to town on the pumpkin. They wanted good, old-fashioned vampire-esque jack-o-lanterns and I was happy to just cut what they drew. It was faster simpler, and much more fun for all three of us.
This was our first year trick-or-treating with families in the neighborhood. And I really enjoyed it. It's nice feeling like part of a community and like I'm doing my part to try to keep the kids connected with their friends while I get friends too!
I hope you guys had fun too!
