I survived another Halloween

Even as a child, I found Halloween to be exhausting and exasperating!  I was only two in this photo!

I have never been a big fan of Halloween.  I really don't understand my feelings about it, but I remember being a child and refusing to dress up.  My mom stated I wouldn't get any candy without a costume, and that was fine with me...this coming from a choc-o-holic!  I don't even enjoy passing out candy and am very grateful that my husband was willing to go late to the football game in order be home and have fun with the kids.

I do however, enjoy seeing my kids have fun.  Catherine and Thomas joined Kona & Bella, two friends from the neighborhood, and they were given specific instructions to follow.  Andrew followed along for a bit to make sure all was well, and they were even home BEFORE they had to be.  I'm grateful it's a Friday night and we can just hang out.

I'm also grateful that our area ends the trick-or-treating as early as it does.  Catherine has her final basketball tryouts at 8AM, and she will know by 10AM whether or not she is on the team.  Fingers, toes, and everything else crossed!
