Billy's schedule has been crazy, and I was afraid that we would have to carve our pumpkins, one of our favorite traditions, without him. But thankfully, we found some time one evening to do this together, as a family. Logan and Taylor loved it, like they did last year. Kendall... meh... She like the finished product more than the labor.
I was also afraid that we would have to attend the ward's Trunk-or-Treat without Billy. But lo and behold, he came home in time for it. We missed half on the chili dinner before, but we made it for the Trunk-or-Treat. Kendall was so excited that when it was all over, and we stopped to chat with some friends, she handed her bucket to Chase and yelled "Trick or Treat?!?!" He didn't even have any candy!
On Halloween day, it rained almost all day. But I had promised the kids we would go Trick-or-Treating, rain or shine. So when Billy came home that night, we went out into the rain to beg for candy. We were just going to stop by a few houses, but the kids were having such a great time that we just kept going, and going, and going. We came home with their buckets full. With all their candies added, I think we got twice as much candy as we handed out. Nice work, Trick-or-Treaters!
