My Halloween started out at school with glasses day- we decided to support a student’s new glasses by all wearing them. It was a fun way to not celebrate Halloween at school.

My parents came over that evening to hand out trick or treats while we met up with a really fun neighborhood group who we trick or treated with. It was so different from last year. Last year we headed out, and all over the neighborhood we saw people who were running from one house to the next in large groups- kids Gigi knew. We sort of joined in, but Halloween groups are funny. People want to go out and not shrink or grow, so we never quite made it into the inner sanctum. In fact, we’ve never been in an inner sanctum. But this year people texted Bradley and asked to come along with us and before we knew it we were five families strong, hitting the streets for tricks and treats! It was great fun!
The sweetest thing to happen that night was Gigi and Katie Jane fell in love. Katie Jane is Jude’s best friend’s little sister. She is two years full of sweetness and yearning for a big sister just like our Guinevere Rose. KJ & GG traipsed hand in hand through the neighborhood, and whenever Gigi strayed away from Katie Jane I would hear her parents consoling her that Gigi would be right back. Sure enough, Gigi would return to take KJ by the hand as her little legs would carry her down the next block. Tears were had as we separated, at last, come 8:30 and the end of the evening. I see many play dates in our future.
My parents spent the night at our house on Halloween. It felt so official and grown up to host my parents for a sleepover. Finally a grown up at 40! Ha!
