Not our best Halloween. Carter is too old and too cool for us. He joined friends and left us in the dust. Abby, now age 13 and too hip for us as well, refused to join in and stayed home. Our new neighborhood, beloved by us for the privacy, quiet, and space seems to be brimming over with boring retirees. Thus, Mike and I took Dillon and Hudson to a local community college's Trick or Treat event....LAME! The clientele was a bit shady. Dillon's sensory sensitivities were in high alert due to the crowd and costumes. We left after a few minutes. We ended up in our old neighborhood for a few door to door treats. It was full of families out walking and made us sad for our old community. Also, for the first time in 10 years we didn't hang out with our old friends the Hennings. Their kids are 13 and 16. I didn't even take a single picture! Of course, as you all know, I'm a "phone it in" (to quote Frankie on The Middle) kind of parent when it comes to holidays and costumes. Two days before Halloween Mike asked what the boys were going to wear. I told him we had several costumes in the dress up box that they could choose from. No planning or buying for us :)
And now, my friends, it is NOVEMBER!!! The time is flying by me. How, on God's green earth, did it become November?? Hudson's 6th bday is the end of the month, Dillon's 11th bday is in mid December, and of course, the onslaught of holiday "whobilations" (what movie??) is upon us.
He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8
