Our friends, the Dixons, did not have a "trunk or treat" in their ward, and so we invited them to go with us to ours tonight. It's always more fun to run around in costume in large groups right?
Amazingly, even being as OLD as I am, I learned some "real" life lessons tonight.
Landon was a CLONE TROOPER, not a STORM TROOPER. There is a difference. Storm Troopers are the bad guys, and Clone Troopers {like him} are the good guys. I had no idea.
If a fireman does not have a hose with him, he probably has a water gun to put out fires. {Or spray little girls}
Ringing the doorbell 20 times in a row makes you feel like the homeowner comes to the door faster. {Probably because they want that dang kid to stop ringing the doorbell}
Glow in the dark necklaces are cool.
You can never have enough candy.
Even if you pray for the rain to stop just long enough for you to get through Trunk or Treating...it won't.
After learning all of this, I thought I would have enough credits to earn my Halloween degree. :0) But...there was still more!
Landon will trade GOOD chocolate candy for bubble gum....and Mackenzee will end up with the better deal. :0)
If you point out which candy bars are made with dark chocolate, your kids will hand them over willingly. You won't even have to bribe them or try to sneak them from your 3 year old. :0)
You will be grateful for that large tub of dress up clothes when you realize your daughter has worn her Halloween costume so much that there are now two holes in it.
When you tell your toddler that they need to stop eating candy before they get a sick tummy and they tell you that they "can't stop!" maybe they are right. I mean...chocolate is hard to stop eating.
After five years and five Halloweens spent together, you finally find out that your spouse was never a huge fan of the holiday, and though he is not really "into" dressing up in a costume he has worn them FOR YOU for three years because he's THAT nice.
See...I told you tonight was a learning experience. :0)
I hope you all had an eventful evening as well!
