Halloween this year was much like every other year. But this year, Gillian asked me “Can you come to my parade?” I said “I’m not sure.” She said “Last year all my friends’ parents came but you wasn’t there.” Wow, way to lay on the guilt trip Gillian. It worked. I made sure I was there. Gillian and her class proudly marched around the parking lot.
And they all gathered together and sang us a little song.
Plus I even got a picture of Gillian and the Elsas.
After school, we headed to Grandma and Grandpa’s house. It is our Halloween tradition to go trick or treating with Justin. Grandma makes a few pots of soup for dinner too.
The kids were awesome this year. They said thank you at every house. Justin was an excellent big cousin. He warched out for John and Gillian and always made sure they were at the front and didn’t miss out on any good candy.
We went back to Grandma’s and ate our soup. John asked if he could have some candy for dessert. I said yes. Of course his picked out a full size Hershey bar. I told him “Only half.” He ate half of it and came back over to me and said “But it’s melting.” I laughed at him and ate a piece. He then reached in and grabbed the last piece of the chocolate bar. I said “John!” He laughed and said “What? It’s going to melt!” This kid.
After Grandma’s house, we headed over to Mimi and Poppy’s house. The kids rang the bell and said “Trick or Treat!” Poppy was surprised to see them. The kids were excited to see everyone especially their baby cousin, Mackenzie.
The kids had a great Halloween!
