Halloween Absentee
I had class on Halloween, so I missed trick-or-treating for the first time in a few years. But at least we shared Monday together, carving intricate designs on the pumpkins Aaron and Edward had captured on their three trips to the Pumpkin Patch this month. Apparently our neighborhood is a popular place to load up on treats; Meg saw many people from our ward who don't live in the neighborhood, and she herself ran out of treats well before the trick-or-treaters returned home.
Aaron spent most of the night trick-or-treating with a family whose boys (twins in second grade, but they come over and play on occasion) live down the street. Rumor has it that whenever the homeowner offered the kids their choice from the booty bowl, Aaron would first look for some bubblegum. Aaron doesn't like gum, but he got it to share with me, for he knows how much I like gum (although I'm trying to eliminate my habit of chewing all day at work). What a sweet boy.
Edward failed to think three minutes into the future, so every time he got a piece of candy he would stop and attempt to eat it, completely against going to the next house to load up on even more treats, and forcing Meg to pick him up and carry him between houses. But you have to remember that he is only 18 months old . . . he really does try hard.
