Last year, Judah’s preschool had an awesome Halloween/Fall party. The kids who wanted to, dressed up and then all the classes paraded around the facility trick or treating. The staff handed out treats in each room and the kids had a blast. Judah tolerated suspenders, so we dressed him as a “geek” and Jacob went as a little gentleman. This year if we were dressing up, I’d go as left overs because there are literally two spoonfuls of lasagna smashed into my sweatpants along with yogurt and a few bits of chocolate. Judah was off his game today, Josh is working late and Jacob decidedly protested dressing up. So, we made our own festivities at home. The afternoons are my favorite with these guys, even on non-holiday days. Since our mornings are pretty structured and we spend most of our energy getting dressed and out the door, our afternoons are spent goofing off in our pajamas…and the goofing off is exasperated on sugar induced days like today.And what one brother does, the other has to top. One second everything is quiet and calm and the next, someone has busted into the chocolate covered cherries and is shoving them into their mouth like it’s their last dying wish.
We’re a bunch of messy leftovers today, but there was candy and where there is candy, all is well. At least on this particular day, right?
We aren’t huge Halloween fans, mainly because neither of our kids are really into it and usually outings like trick or treating set Judah off, but I’m curious what you normally do on Halloween?
