My kids love to dress up in costumes and act like their character. Budding thespians! Side note: my little cherubs are natural at this. Maybe all kids do this by instinct but I have not seen the drama exude from them so quickly and effortlessly. Get a camera out or put them in a costume and they become a totally different person! They must get this from their mother. (This is not to bash her. She was just in more musicals and drama presentations than I.)
Well, Carla was at work for the evening so I was designated as the adult to accompany our kids on this adventure. The mission this year was clear: acquire as much candy from neighborhood homes as possible in 2 hours. I didn't have to dress up or ring the doorbells. I just needed to be there. However, I did introduce myself to the neighbors whom we haven't met even after 10 months of living in our home. That was fun.
The girls got cold after 45 minutes and requested a reprieve from their Halloween mission. They stayed home while Brandon and I went out for more plunder. We got to hear a live band play some hard core music and were very successful in finding the homes giving out the large candy bars. Now, he has more candy than any boy should have and I fear for the health of his teeth! Just his haul was 12 pounds after the "Daddy Tax". Not bad! Maybe we can get more next year!
