What fun Halloween is when the kids are older! I sent Erika out with girlfriends. Ron went with Matt to Jake Bechard's neighborhood. Our neighbors put a firepit out in the cul-de-sac and set up tables. We had baked potato soup, hankie panks and lots of other appetizers. We had some Witches Brew wine. We sat, talked, and although warm at 6:00, it quickly got cold enough to enjoy the fire. It was so nice watching the other parents with their little ones. While we sat and chatted the night away without a care. It was great doing something that required little work and allowed everyone to be nice to strangers. The best part was that by 9:30 we were all tired enough to head inside. It was a very laid back evening.
Oh, the kids have about 30 pounds of candy. I am not kidding. There is no way the kids could ever eat all this. I am going to have to start throwing out a handful a day to get rid of it all. Well, after I eat my favorites!
