Post #3: Halloween Minute by Minute

This evening after dinner, we headed out on our much anticipated trick or treating adventure. We got the children all dressed up and went to the neighbors on our street. The children had a wonderful time. Jacob led the way excitedly, but I made him wait for Nicole each time. Even Andrew caught on to the game a few houses into it. He seemed to enjoy it as well. Upon returning home, the children surveyed their candy acquisitions and ate a few pieces plus a bag of fruit snacks. Andrew had a lollipop (I still can't find the stick - maybe next month). The kids had just a lot of fun answering the door each time more children arrived. Jacob held the pumpkin bucket and doled out the candy. All in all, I think it was a happy day. Now on for more festivities and fun tomorrow - All Saints Day - beginning with 7:30am Mass! They are looking forward to carving pumpkins tomorrow night.


Jacob - Great Knight



Nicole - Sweet Cinderella



Andrew - Expert Golfer

Deep Halloween Thought

"Mess is inevitable."



The was that little nursery rhyme that went like so:

Rain on the grass.
Rain on the tree.
Rain on the rooftop,
But not on me.

Let's change it up a bit:

Mess on the floor.
Mess on the seats.
Mess on the tabletops,
And all over me.

Happy mess!
