Cam scored three Halloween parties and two nights of Trick-or-Treating. Not bad for a child not yet two. The nice ladies on our street gave her first dibs to all the great candy (lots of Sweetarts for Rob, and a regular sized Kit Kat for me) and one lady bought Cam a bottle of bubbles.
Came home to put Cam down after two houses, because we don't play with bedtime here. As it was I had to pry that green Jack-o-Lantern out of her outraged hands, before persuading her that jammies and a story were MUCH more fun. Yeah, even I call bullshit on me.
I have a great big plastic bin that I bought from Target. This bin I will fill with this year's decorations, decorations I plan to score tomorrow morning, and notes for next year. One note reads:
"Rocks. Rocks for 30-something year old women who show up on door steps begging for candy for their "lazy teen-aged daughter".
What self-respecting woman, NAY, parent, would dare ask people handing out candy to actual children, for candy for a child that is 1) too old to Trick-or-Treat; and 2) not even there?
That treat bag deserves a rock.
