Ok, so this is a week late… But Halloween weekend was great.

While I did get to dress up (makeshift outfit, not really a costume), and go out two nights in a row, I gotta say that the highlight of the weekend was handing out candy.

I loved it.

I got so excited as soon as it hit the starting time for trick or treating. I absolutely couldn’t sit still for too long because I was so ready to hand out candy. The first time that bell rang, I sprang up from the couch and practically dove for the door! I opened it up to a lady in a mask, and a little itty bitty trick or treater in an orange shirt and black skirt standing next to her. The lady had to say Trick or Treat for the little girl, because she was too young to understand what was going on. The little one looked like she was old enough to have just figured out the whole walking thing… Halloween wasn’t quite on the “grasped concepts” list yet.

So, as adorable as she was, I let her pick out her own candy. She reached into the mass o’ candy and pulled out two pieces, one in each hand. Once she had made her choices, she just looked up at me like “Now what?” She figured she was done there and turned to leave when the lady told her to put the candy in their bucket. After the little girl put the candy away, she turned back to me, pinching her fingers together with a look that said, “Ok, my hands are free. I can get more right?”

She was just soooo darn cute! There were a couple other itty bittys that came through, and a few older kids (like 8-10yr olds). I got to be the “cool house” for a couple of groups. They were astonished at the amount of candy I gave out. I actually had one kid leave my house staring at his bag with his eyes popping out of his head and his mouth hanging open! Ha! It was great!!

So, next year the plan is to decorate. This year didn’t see much in the way of decorations due to the fact that I wasn’t sure I would be doing anything for Halloween. Just can’t get in the decorating mood when you can’t tell if you have plans or not… But like I said, next year there will be plenty of decorations!

So tonight I was trying to add to a halter top I made a looooong time ago so I can wear it out for Halloween. (Hurray for getting back into maille!) Needed to lengthen it and give it more style.

The funny part is that I was working for quite a while and forgot to have dinner. I put my work on hold to finally go cook something. Now, while dinner was cooking, I grabbed a snack.

Ended up eating Oh’s cereal. Just couldn’t get the link shape outta my head I guess.

Congrats on hitting level 60 Dad!
