We had a great weekend! Friday evening we participated in our town's downtown trick-or-treat where businesses downtown hand out candy to trick-or-treaters. (the main road is blocked off for a couple of blocks for 2 hours for the event). It was fun and the kids got to show off their costumes. M was a purple unicorn - with wings - and E was a skeleton. I will post pics when I get more time. Saturday morning we went and set up the tunnel for the Fall Family Festival at my aunt and uncle's. This was the easiest set up yet - it went very smoothly (and yet took from 9:30 until 4:00, including breaks of course). We had a ton of fun running around on the trail searching for and following clues in a seek and find hunt. After it got dark we went through the trail - which looked great, and no ghouls to worry about this time :) Lots of good food , candy, and the best family for company. Thank you!! And perfect weather, if I do say so myself. I love holloween - mind you, halloween day we spent at home...burying my dead rat, and cleaning house :(
Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.
