Halloween is just not the same as when I was a kid. Of course, it could be said that most things have changed since then. Homemade goodies are out… the same repetitious miniature candy bars are in.
sigh.
I miss being excited about what was hiding in my bag at the end of a night marching around laughing and cheering with the other kids. The grownups seemed more into it too.
Still, it was a fun night and the little group we had was a good one. Some folks really got into it and the spirit was alive and well… Bren came home with a cool black rubber bat that will likely be good fun from now until the next Halloween – I send cheers and thanks to the folks that did that one.
The candy that is hanging out here is getting the boot to Todd’s office and Bren’s stash is small enough that I don’t think he’ll make himself sick over it.
6/7 year olds don’t have the stamina of older kids – thank goodness – and 2 year olds have even less.
I would have been just as happy to hang out at the house, watching a movie and cuddling with my small guy. But we did the big adventure and it was fun.
Happy Halloween everyone!
