Halloween (long overdue)

Written by Kristen

Well, we did it. We let the kids go trick or treating in our neighborhood this year. ViviAnne (the little Princess) and Cooper (little Frankenstein) went to about 6-7 houses and did their routine. Tick or treat and thank you. That is all that was said by both of them at each house. No conversation just strictly business. Then we went back to our house where my Mom had been manning the candy for the other kids in the neighborhood. We joined her on the front steps and both kids passed out candy to the rest of the neighborhood kids and enjoyed a sucker or two of their own. The adults, Brent, Mom and myself, nibbled on candy and laughed at all the teenagers and little ones prowling for candy. Then it was inside for jammies, “Spookley the Square Pumpkin” movie and White Chicken Chili. It was a lot of fun and both ViviAnne and Cooper finally figured out what all the fuss over Halloween was about. It was nice to have a day focused strictly on kids stuff and not on chemo or cancer.
