Happy Halloween

At 5:45 a.m on Halloween it was apparent it was going to be a VERY LONG DAY when Hannah and Sophie woke up READY to go trick or treating at the obscenely early hour. I would also like to offer gratitude and appreciation (very sarcastic) to whoever invented Daylight savings!!

By 10:00 a.m. I decided to throw together an impromptu Halloween party with some neighbors to hopefully get rid of some of this incredible energy. The kids came over at around 1:30 and we played a few games (eating marshmellows off strings, bobbing for apples, and blowing popcorn across a tarp). The kids really enjoyed bobbing for apples and decided that the best way to get the apple was to submerge your entire head. Several changes of clothes were made. But, at least the kids ate a few apples before they went trick or treating!

We ate a quick dinner. Hannah professed at dinner that she was no longer a carnivore or a vegatarian and so she could not eat anything on her plate. Apparently, on Halloween she had become a candiovore. Considering the situation we mostly let her get away with her behavior although I think she managed to choke down one carrot. As if that made any difference.

The kids went trick or treating and brought home their usual loot. At which point our little candivores ate themselves sick and then crashed. Sophie fell asleep on the couch at 7:30 (this time a non-sarcastic thank you goes out to whoever invented daylight savings). Hannah made it a little later. Of course Sophie didn't brush her teeth before she crashed so this halloween will probably cost us $700.00 in dental bills!

Hope you all had a happy halloween too!
