Happy Halloween!

This year I just told the kids to use what we had for costumes.  We have a lot of options and cute stuff.  But what did they choose?  They chose to be fat man and fat woman.  they just wore baggy clothes and stuffed them with pillows.  Then Sydney had the audacity to be upset when someone in her class told her she was fat!  Anyway, Jeff took Sydney and her friend around trick or treating while Mason and his friend went out on their own.  Morgan just went and watched a movie with her friends.  I told Mason this was his last year to trick-or-treat and he was not happy.  He says "Wesley was able to trick or treat until he was 17!"  So we explained the cost and benefit of delay growth pattern. Not a happy camper.  Over all we ended up with a net gain, as I ran out of candy here, and they filled up the cauldron more than when we started.

The best was this morning when I questioned Mason about how much candy was in his back pack.  He mentioned a few, so I told him to empty it out.  It just kept coming and coming.  We narrowed it down extensively much to his chagrin.  Crazy kid.  All I know is that I would hate to be a teacher today ;).  Hope you all had a great Halloween!
