I was at Stop & Shop tonight picking up some olives. On my way out I saw this cute little Halloween balloon. It is totally impractical and for the briefest of moments I considered picking it up for the kids. Totally ridiculous and all but for the briefest moment I thought of getting it. But I did not.
Tonight I took Andy over to one of his friends houses for a pre-trunk-or-treat party. They had invited the whole 4th and 5th grades over to their house. Andy got lots of compliments on his costume because it was once again a unique one that was homemade.
there were a ton of kids at the house and the family there got pizzas and pretzels for everyone, beers for the parents and juice boxes for the kiddos. They really did a nice job at hospitality. We got all the kids together and took some photos, too.
When it was time to go to the Trunk-or-Treat I walked up to the church parking lot with Andy and dropped him off with his friend Bella and her mom. She was going to be taking Andy home when the event was over. He had a great time there at the event. When he came home he had a huge bucket of candy. Pretty good timing because his snack bucket was getting pretty light.
Eva spent the day at King Richard’s Faire with her Dungeons & Dragons group. They had a nice time there. They were also very lucky to be able to get in because the Faire was sold out for Saturday and Sunday, at least for online tickets. They got there early enough to get walk up tickets. She had a lot of fun and was very energized when she got home. she and Andy chatted animatedly about their day and night. It was nice to see.
