In all of the Halloweens in the past....our little ones would dress up (they loved to choose their costumes) and we as a family would either go to a friends house, have friends over, or for the last almost 10 years, our family, along with some other families would host a joint party for the parents and kids to all enjoy Halloween together. We would eat a lot of food and visit while the kids ran and played in the yard, then, when darkness fell upon the earth, the daddies would walk around with the kids and trick-or-treat.
This year proved to be quite a different story...
HALLOWEEN
This
is the first Halloween, when ALL of my children had plans with friends
that did not include us! Boy have the times changed. Madison had her
first high school Halloween party and Savannah was invited to a
sleepover party at her friend's house. Nicholas had a friend come over
to trick or treat with him, so we did get to play a small role in his
evening....here are some pics
Nicholas
and Trey getting ready to trick or treat....both Nicholas and Savannah
were "light up stick people" this year. It was a very cool costume.
This is Nicholas in his stick person costume in the dark
Here is Savannah in her cute stick costume
Here is Savannah with her friends, Dorothy and Beth getting ready to trick or treat
Here
is Madi and Claire as they prepare to leave for their high school
party...Madi was a "Drifter", hitchhiking all around the world". She wore torn up clothes, holding a sign that stated..."NEED A RIDE....ANYWHERE"
Here, of course is my Lil' Pumpkin, Isaac. Unlike the other kids, he did not have any other plans. We just got to love on him in his little costume, while giving out candy to the neighbors.
Sometimes I worry that my kids may forget that I was ACTUALLY at their important events : )
What a fun and relaxing evening....We are looking forward to celebrating The Feast of All Saints tomorrow
