Halloween
Wednesday, October 30th, 2013From Wednesday Mom – Janelle:
Jack and Tate picked out their Halloween costumes months ago. Knowing their star wars obsession, it did not surprise me when they chose Darth Vader and Yoda. As Yoda would say, “A perfect pair, I thought.”
Our town celebrates trick or treating on Halloween, but last weekend we were invited to attend Halloween celebrations in housing on the Navy base. The housing community hosts their own trick or treating for residents and their friends. Jack and Tate have several friends who live there, and my husband and I are friends with their parents. We were all happy to try a new friendly neighborhood. The boys were ecstatic to walk run all over the neighborhood and find as much candy as possible. They had permanent smiles on their faces and made sure to knock on every single door. They know exactly how to maximize their loot. The boys managed to fill up their treat bags and immediately examine all their goodies. Jack favors chocolates and Tate enjoys lollipops.
After roughly two hours of trick or treating, we attended the neighborhood potluck picnic. The perfect evening was made up of delicious fall comfort food, a fire pit, adult conversation, and kids roaming freely in delight
Jack and Tate are already talking about what/who they want to dress up as next Halloween. It’s funny listening to them plan out their costumes. They’ve already changed their minds twenty times. Whatever they decide on, I am looking forward to another year of Halloween fun.
