Halloween 07 was just okay. Both of the kids have colds and I have not been feeling too well myself. We got in the car to go to the Pumpkin Patch today, and even though we checked the website, it was closed when we got there! It is really hard to explain to kids why you can't do something after getting them all revved up to go! And of course this is the very last day we can go!
Then, my darling son Jonathan REFUSED to wear his (FORTY FRIGGIn' DOLLARS!) Optimus Prime costume, which I special ordered off the Internet over a month ago, and he begged for, and kept wanting to put on all the days up to Halloween. But, no, never mind, today it made him "all scratchy." Somehow, after that, it was all sort of downhill from there, like Dave and I were both having to beg and cajole our children into going trick or treating, getting candy, wearing their costumes, getting some pictures taken beforehand! Seriously this is how it went:
Just one more house, okay, buddy, don't you want more candy?
No! I want to go home! I already have enough candy!
Jonathan! We only go trick or treating once a year! Don't you want to fill up your treat bag?
NOOOOOO! I am tired of walking (as he was being transported around in the double stroller!). I want to go home!
And so it went....
The up side of all this is that we don't have too much candy sitting around for Mommy and Daddy to nosh on. And the very best thing... Dave wore the other half of Jonathan's costume (we could only beg and threaten him into the bodysuit part) and I wore the princess crown, earrings and wand from Anna's costume. Which means, we have some awesome pictures of the two of us looking pretty ridiculous!
