I am sitting at my kitchen table on this very chilly November morning, listening to Christmas carols, drinking hot chocolate and reviewing the photographs from last night's Halloween activities. It is a meeting of the holidays!!
Our little "tinkerbell" had the best time last night. We were able to trick or treat in an actual neighborhood with our friends T, L and K. We started this tradition last year and all this year we have looked forward to the event. Last year we walked the neighborhood, this year, T got us a golf cart and we had a golf cart convoy! It was a great way to trick or treat. The girls had a grand time going house to house, saying ever so sweetly "Trick or Treat" and even more sweetly, "Thank You!" It is a blessing to know that your child actually remembers to mind her manners, even in the most chaotic of circumstances. Maybe we are doing something right after all!
After the coldness of the night had frozen our bones, we headed back to their house for some hot chocolate and the girls compared candy. Then all too soon, it was over and we packed up the car to trick or treat at both grandparents' houses. Tinkerbell was a bit tired but she managed to pull through for one more trick or treat at my parent's house. She received her goodies - the new Tinkerbell movie (yipee!!!), candy bracelets (always a hit!) and even a Cinderella and Snow White cookie! She was so excited!
After this visit, we headed out to Danny's parent's. The ride there was fine, we popped the new Tinkerbell movie in and our little Tink stayed awake. She managed to walk in the door, but after about five minutes she sat down and soon this is what we had on our hands:
A "too pooped to party any more, Tinkerbell!!"It was a fun night, we have lots of candy, plenty to last the whole year, and we are heading happily toward our next fun event... THE FAIR!!!
Living Happily in THIS moment!
