Oh Halloween Abe made the kids a pancake, eggs, and tofurkey sausage breakfast. They all had seconds before I came up to help clean and make lunch.
After lunch we all sat around watching Halloween movies until dinner. Well, Abe actually used the time to clean and do house projects, but the kids and I watched movies together. I loved cuddling with all of them, and I didn’t feel too guilty about doing nothing because this is my second week on antibiotics recovering from a UTI that just won’t seem to go away. I think my body is tired from fighting infection and just loved the rest. Well, I know I loved the rest, so I guess that’s all that matters.
After our movie marathon Abe went outside to hide 60 glow in the dark eggs he had spray painted earlier that morning. I bought black light flash light for all the kids and we surprised them with flash lights and an egg hunt. They loved it, and after they had found all the eggs they hid them in the yard for Abe and me to find. The deal was if we could find all the eggs then there would be no candy Sunday, but if we couldn’t find all eggs then they could have one more day of candy. It took a while and was a close call, but Abe and I found all of the eggs–and it was a really fun to do an egg hunt!!
After the kids hid the eggs Clarissa came to me and said, “Can we please go trick or treating?” She put her hands against her chin and tilted her head in the cutest way. I told her to go ask Abe, who was really resolved to be more safe this Halloween. However, at Clarissa’s cute mannerisms he did an about face and took all of the kids trick or treating around the block.
While they trick or treated, I stayed home and folded laundry while listening to classical Renaissance music. It was so peaceful and wonderful. Happy Halloween!
