Today flew by, it was over before I knew it! Work was good. I feel like I'm somewhat catching up, finally. I have a ton of stuff to do still, but I'm pretty much through all of the "rush" stuff that kept coming, and coming, and coming. Most of the new work I have to do now doesn't have the tight time frames I've been working under for so long, which is a really nice change.
I left work a tad early so I could pick up the girls and get them home with enough time to change, eat and all that jazz before our co-trick or treaters showed up. I got the girls in their costumes (and took some pics before too many distractions showed up) and made dinner. Christian arrived home right when dinner was ready to go, so we ate quick and finished up just as people arrived. My BFF's family, along with one of her sisters and her family came over, like usual, to trick or treat with us. I made some cider for our walk, and we took off. The older kids took off like a bolt of lightening, leaving the poor little ones in their dust. It worked out pretty well though.
Olivia did REALLY good this year. She was still a little apprehensive of going up to the houses, but she said "trick or treat" at every house, and was pretty good about her "thank you's" too. She was SO cute! Her little witch costume fit her perfect. She kept her hat on the whole time and actually lasted a lot longer than I expected. Amelia was surprisingly all about it. She carried her pumpkin around like a pro. She went up to the houses with no fear, actually trying to go in most of them. She dug into her candy pretty much right away, and she also lasted much longer than we expected. We ended up putting her in the stroller, more because we were tired from carrying her than anything.
Another year down. And, as you can see below, we have an obnoxious amount of candy. We have a 1 year old that can't even eat most of the candy, and it would take the 2 year old until next Halloween to eat it all. Seriously, why do we go to so many houses?!?
