Yesterday, H had her first lesson of 2nd session of rock climbing. She was bouncing off the walls. I don't know if it's the actual climbing or all the Halloween candy that's making her so hyper...
Halloween was... OK. I don't know, I just don't get particularly excited about costumes, candy, or wondering around in the dark with a bunch of hyper kids. We had 2 clowns and Kate from the Mysterious Benedict Society.
To be honest, putting together (very last minute, as always) a clown costume for our youngest was pretty fun. H did her face paint. (I wonder if I can convince our kids to put together a clown show of some sort for Thanksgiving....)
I was trying to convince our 14-year old that he was too old for this... he didn't buy into it.
About 20 minutes into our trick-or-treating, the rain started to drip. But the kids wanted to keep going... so we did.
Random (rhetoric) questions:
- Why do we have to dress up on a specific day? Why can't we dress up in costumes whenever we want to?
- Why do kids like candy so much?
- Would they dress up for Halloween and walk around the neighborhood if there was no candy involved?
- Will I remember the Halloween stuff fondly? Will I miss the hubbub? Will I be relieved once the kids no longer want to do it? Will I regret not doing more while they are still little-ish?
