Halloween
Drew & Dustin have a teacher only day today so they are hanging with Kathryn. She is really brave and decides to take our boys out too. We swap cars and Kathryn takes the mummy wagon while we end up with the merc. We take off for the beach and end up at San Clemente where it is absolutely beautiful. A gorgeously sunny day and very warm temperatures. We enjoy lunch on the pier and a wander along the beach.
The boys have had a huge day with their first stop being the pumpkin patch which featured a maze and humungous pumpkins. Then they headed to Camelot and played laser tag which was a huge hit and the main topic of conversation when they arrived home. A quick stop at Burger King for lunch where the playground held a surprise or two.
Back home for a quick recoup before it gets dark and there is more work for the boys to do in collecting candy. We are having ribs for dinner tonight and Grant is the chef at the barby – awesome job and they smell as divine as they tasted. It is dark at 5.30 and we get a knock on our door and that is it for the boys waiting any longer – we are out of there. I persuade Kathryn to come with me just for the first couple of houses. We have so much fun wandering along that I am sent back to grab our pina coladas and make things way more sociable. The boys are really enjoying trick or treating and the decorations on the houses are really quite spectacular. We went up and down Kathryn’s street where we visited approximately 100 houses. Of those there were only about 10 that weren’t participating. While we were asking for candy Andy was at home getting up and down every 2 minutes to give out candy.
Another wonderful night that saw the boys come away with 10.5 pounds of candy between them and that was when we got round to weighing it 3days later!!
