The Marital Halloween
Every year my husband has worked late on Halloween. One year, I did half the trick or treating with the kids by myself. I hated it. Either way, the time has normally changed before Halloween and folks would generally be out and about by 5 or 5:15 because it gets dark. Well, since the time hasn’t changed, it was broad daylight still.
But, around 5:20 we loaded up and headed to Nanny’s. Because……………this year, the year that I was running around all day like a chicken with my head cut off going to party’s and school and the such, he gets off early.
Normally we try to sneak a meal after trick or treating, this year, I brought home take-out. I mean, honestly, this has been our best Halloween yet.
And, to leave you with a little blurb about how wonderful marriage and family…..my mom put a lot of candy in the kids’s bags.s But, she also put an Easter Egg in each one of their bags with the following note in it…
Yea, so trick that!
And, if you are wondering, there was plenty of candy in there to last us I’m sure for quite some time, but this year, I one house that we depend on to trick or treat or a orange soda of some kind was shut down. No one was home, lights were out. But, luckily, a different family member took up the policy and Capri Suns were doled out. Obviously with the weather like it is around here, Trick or Treating is a tough job with the heat, especially if you have on a big hot suit.
Yea, so trick that!
