Tonight, we turned on our house light and abandoned our basket of candy-goods on our door stop. In recent pasts, Beau and I would put on a spooky Halloween playlist, dim the lights in our house, and watch our neighborhood light up with trick-or-treaters from the comfort of our home. We'd drink wine, fill little Jack-o-Lanterns with candy, and pretend we existed within the pages of a children's story. I love Halloween, and love the spirit that fills the streets of our neighborhood.
This year, however, we left our candy at home, and took our Very Hungry Caterpillar for his first trick-or-treating experience.
And thanks to Grandma Kelly, Cruz discovered a love for chocolate Kit Kat bars. Here he is attempting to disclose his attempt to tear into one through its wrapping.
It's the first of many end-of-the-year celebrations, and I am ready to stretch out and soak up every one of them. We had so much fun this weekend --- I may just have to keep this costume in a familiar place for the occasional rainy day.
So much to catch up on---but for now, it's bedtime. My 'hungry' caterpillar is a sleepy one!
Hope you had fun tonight :)
What a precious little caterpillar! Must have been so fun!
