Halloween

It was a busy day. A cold, wet busy day.

Lucky for Alec-he had an appointment that day that required him to get out of school early.

Lucky for Erik- he got to take him.

Lucky for me- I didn’t have to –I got to stay at work and get ready for the annual Halloween party. Consider us all lucky- for the first time we got to spend the afternoon wandering around my work party together as a family. As I have said in years past- pictures do not do it justice. It is always a great morale booster and such a great family friendly event.

 

After Alec’s loot bag was completely filled we raced home. Literally. Alec came with me and kept asking me to catch up to dad and pass him. No can do little buddy. Dad is a crazy driver!

Once home we lit the pumpkins and took the obligatory pictures.

Off they went….

They were out in that crazy wet weather for 2.5 hours. They hit up every nook and cranny of our neighborhood plus some.  It’s wasn’t for the loot so much as the sport of it. Alec wanted to hit every house that had it’s light on and Erik was willing to oblige. All I can say is that it is a good thing Alec chose Erik to go with him and not me. :) Plus I got to have a visit from a very cute chipmunk! Alec was so sad he missed seeing her.

The loot:

Oh joy. Bring on the sugar highs and the crashes that follow. This should be fun. Not.
