Hallow's Eve

My Mother-in-Law commented today that we didn't bring our kids over on Halloween to see their costumes. I told her they were dressed in the same outfits they are every other day, princess attire. Maddi eats, sleeps and drinks the Little Mermaid. She has been Ariel everyday for the last two years. Sami alternates princesses. Jack was a one time Lion who was unafraid to walk into just about every house we knocked on and without hesitation head for the kitchen or to greet the family dog. We had to pull him out of more than one home. We scored big though, big!! This is the best year for candy I have seen since 87'. Sami had to empty one bucket so she kid get a refill. We scored some full size candy bars and even some $5 McDonald gift certificates after getting pulled into an elderely woman's house to chat in her living room for 25 minutes. She was wonderful! My wife and I talked about her after because she was so cool. I said, "Who is going to replace these old belles?" We both agreed that there are so many amazing young people but that the World War 2 generation is leaving some huge shoes to fill. So I leave you with a challenge, hug a grandparent this week.
