Boo!
Don’t they look sweeet? Probably not the look they were going for, lol. They are tough guys you know!
So Halloween is over, the money is spent, the costumes are worn and too much candy has been consumed. It was fun, but not too long-lasting really. In my neighborhood the kids started coming around 6pm and very few showed up after 7pm. My own boys were only out trick-or-treating for about 35 minutes, the last five of that filled with complaints of cold and tired. I suspect a desire to get home and eat some candy was a big part of that.
This year was actually one of the warmest Halloweens I can recall. I was able to just add sweaters under their costumes to keep them warm; many years you can barely glimpse costumes under the snowpants, coats and boots that kids have to don. We had a little snow on Friday morning, but it melted by Friday night and yesterday was a balmy 7 degrees or so, although it definitely was cooling off fast once the dark descended.
Now it’s November, hard to believe 2009 is already almost over. The time change also took place last night and while we’re not feeling the effects yet, I am hoping that this week isn’t too rough. Sometimes the time change really messes the kiddos up, especially the baby. Thankfully after this full week of school, next week we start the kids’ fall break and we’ll all (hopefully) get plenty of rest. No school for almost a full week this year – usually fall break is just a 4-day weekend, but they popped the November PD day onto one end and Remembrance Day gives a day off at the beginning of the break.
Hope everyone else had a happy Halloween!
