I actually enjoyed Halloween

I really truly enjoyed Halloween Saturday.  I think it had a lot to do with the fact that it fell on a Saturday.  It was a chilly and damp day, but it didn't actually rain until after trick-or-treating was over.  There was a big debate about whether or not Thomas was actually going to go out this year.  He didn't want to go by himself, and Catherine didn't want to go with him.  However, it broke my heart to see him sitting, all dressed in costume, on the porch with not too many kids coming by.  Finally I told Catherine that I would pay her to go out and be there for her brother.  He loved getting to trick-or-treat on his final time allowed, and even though she wasn't in costume, Catherine snagged a few pieces of candy for herself.  I had made two crockpots of potato soup for dinner, and after the kids got home we stuck in Charlie's Brown's "Great Pumpkin" cartoon, and shared the evening together as a family.  We even spent some time watching the Notre Dame/Temple game together that evening, and I just really enjoyed the evening with my family.  I'm pretty sure it will be my most favorite Halloween ever!
