It's been rainy and cool all week, and I was worried that halloween would require raincoats, but the rain subsided for the 2 hours that we were out, and it was perfect.
Both Lucy and Max were determined to out-do each other this year…and their record for last year. Rain or shine. We made it down 3 streets and were done. Seriously, I don't think we could handle much more candy than that anyway. I'm one of those mom's that rations halloween candy in the name of good health, so we often have halloween candy left in the bags the following year that we have to throw out to make room for more. It's a terrible time of year. Halloween and Christmas candy time are just too close together…and then there's valentines and easter! I'm convinced Dentists have created most of these holidays…or at least turned these innocent holidays into 'candy-loving-teeth-rotting-belly-churning-money-grabbers.' But, that doesn't stop me from indulging in Logan's mini-chocolate bars…since he doesn't really like chocolate all that much anyway.
This year was particularly fun because all 3 of our kids were really into the holiday. Logan still gave out sooner than the other two, but he put in a good effort. He was so disappointed every time someone would put chocolate in his bag and we had to remind he that we thank them anyway. It's hard to teach a 3-year-old the principle of 'it's the thought that counts'.
