It's Been a Long, Long, Year

Hello,

It's been a very long year. However, I am happy to back and glad that 2008 is almost over. Here it November 1. My younger son raced from house to house trick-or-treating. It was all about quantity and counting the loot. This was the first year he took a pillow case instead of his cute little pumpkin bag. It obviously didn't hold enough candy! My older son chose to hand out candy at a friend's house. He was borderline on the whole trick-or-treat process down to the very last moment - am I too old to trick-or-treat (12) or should I just hand out candy? He dressed up in what I would call a semi-costume and decided at the last minute in what was probably a group decision. So, Halloween over - Thanksgiving upon us! It seems like when you have kids, the whole fall season just runs together beginning in October.
