Halloween was definitely a big hit with our two kids last night. ‘Worker bee’ (aka Luke) wouldn’t let go of his candy bag. We were out for an hour and a half, and his little pumpkin was getting pretty heavy, but he refused to relinquish it.
And as for ‘princess bee’ (aka Charlotte)… well, the following exchange says everything:
Princess Bee: I want to be a princess bee forever.
Queen Bee/Mom: Well, the costume is going to get too small before long.
Princess Bee: But we can get a bigger one…
We met up with a couple of other families from the neighborhood and had a great time. Our motley crew of trick or treaters included a jellyfish, Blade, a vampire tooth fairy (one costume), a fire fighter, a tiger, a ladybug, an additional bee, a Native American, and one or two others that escape me at the moment.
Karen was a ‘queen bee,’ and I went as a ‘spelling bee’ (bee antennae, black pants, bright yellow shirt with ‘spelling bee’ related words and questions all over it.) Plus, Aunt Jen came as a bee, too.
It was a great Halloween.
I hope you enjoyed today’s serving of ‘Mac & Cheese’ (hopefully, while eating a little bit of Halloween candy.)
