Halloween 2018

We didn’t have pumpkins to carve, and barely had candy to put out. Peyton was excited to make the sign to put out. Dave bought one bag of 55 pieces. Normally, we put to take 2 per person. But she was doing the math, and knew it wouldn’t be many people served. She struggled, but figured out that only 27 kids would get candy if they all followed directions. So, she was contributing candy that she’d gotten at practice last week. Later, Dave brought home more, but she’d already put her sign up on the basket. She thought we would see P and A, our neighbors and friends out trick or treating, as we went with them last year. So she looked through our stash to bring them something. But she said, “A is allergic to peanuts, so I can’t give her the M&M’s or anything from our bucket.” She fished out some stickers and a pencil that she’d received from her coach last weekend at practice. She was going to give the pencil to P and the stickers to A. She put them in her pumpkin, and Dave grabbed his drink, and we headed out. Dave didn’t have a game to watch, so he reluctantly walked around with us. B couldn’t find his costume from last year, so he headed out with just his sweatshirt. He didn’t want to trick or treat, but he wanted to walk around with us “to get exercise”. He half wanted to stay home and pass out candy, but also probably didn’t want to be left alone at night. We met up with N and the girls to give them their presents, and then stopped at a house where some school friends were. We were invited to eat, and gather, while a large group of kids were starting at 7 pm. P found a friend, but she just wanted to go by herself in a small group with the au pair. She started to walk away, when I asked her if P could join her, because the only reason P was inside the house was to stay with A. She grabbed Peyton and both were happy to be in a smaller group. It was easier to maneuver, and not lose anyone.

They actually got through the houses more quickly. So, it was Dave, Brandon, the au pair, Evalina, and the girls. They stopped by the fire station, where we took pictures because Evalina’s dad is a fireman. Then, we turned around and made our way to a maze, the corner house with inflatables, and the quieter back street behind our house. Dave and Brandon cut out when Dave’s door dash showed up at the house. They had been watching trick or treaters go past the doorbell on camera. Dave wanted to shout through the intercom to tell them they were being watched. The girls were both scared by the maze, which was set up in a neighbor’s front house. There was black tarp, and little kids jumping out from behind. We ended up seeing Nela and the girls once again and they were with the Yin family! P’s friend is the little sister of one of G’s friends. SO they had a mob walking around together. We had already been to the Yins’ and the girls waved to them and said hi on the camera. In the back street, we found some bowls which were empty. The girls started emptying their baskets into those empty bowls, filling it up the neighbors’ buckets. They would stop in front of the homes and stay there awhile. I was nervous because I didn’t want the neighbors thinking they were STEALING candy! Peyton told me, “Well, you’re not going to let me eat it anyway, so I might as well help someone else!” They were really sweet. They wanted to give out candy as they were walking by younger kids. As we were wrapping up, we headed back home and split off from A and her au pair at our intersecting streets. We came back into the nice bright light, and each kid was able to select 10 pieces of candy to eat. So, basically, Brandon made her do all the work, and reaped the benefit of her labor. She wasn’t even sad about it, either. She totally let him have whatever he wanted AFTER she chose her 10 pieces. They are definitely growing up!
