We have a long standing tradition of trick or treating with some fab friends in Woodbury. It's nice to share the trick or treating task with other adults and our kids get along just fine. Henry gets seriously jacked up about trick or treating with these friends and talks about it year round. Isabelle is really getting into it too. Sadly, Isabelle fell victim to the flu (see fire station post) and had to stay home. When I broke the news to her she was royally pissed. I promised to take her to a few houses in our neighborhood and let her watch great pumpkin. Here was her final reaction to the evening:
Not too shabby. Henry still got to trick or treat with his buddies and all ended well. However, it's unclear if the sugar has worn off because this is how the kids traveled to school this morning:
God bless their teachers, and all teachers who have to deal with kids the morning after Halloween. (Isabelle punched a kid in her class, but that's a story for another day. I blame Halloween).
When I dropped Henry off at school and removed his soldier gear he asked what I was going to do today. I told him I had to go to the store. He said, "Could you pick up some bacon? I feel like bacon?" Bacon as an afternoon snack? Done.
