They were old pros by this point. We had already taken in quite a haul and the church Trunk or Treat event the Friday before. A few extra clothes were required based on the map Kurt and Myka made of the route they were going to take assuring them the most loot.
Ready to go!
I always love watching them walk away with Daddy on Halloween. Not sure if I'm nostalgic for the memories of the all the excitement of the evening or if I just like being in my own house with some peace and quiet for an hour or so.
A short time after they left I saw our neighbor head out (she had already been by our house while the kids were home) and realized that Kurt never took the kids over there. I texted him that they should stop there and he said they would swing back around. He took the opportunity to dump all of the candy they had already gathered on the table so they again had three (oh yes, three. But not because Kurt was asking for candy. I don't think.) empty buckets to fill. Then they stopped by the neighbors before hitting every house on the mile path they had mapped out on the way to our friends' house for dinner.
This doesn't even include the bowl full we still had from the church event. Or the very picked over remains from the parade. Or the twenty some odd pieces the adults in the house ate after the kids were in bed before they had a chance to sort everything the next morning.
Happy Halloween!
