"If human beings had genuine courage, they'd wear their costumes every day of the year, not just on Halloween."
-Douglas Coupland
Halloween at my work is a pretty big deal. The entire campus shuts down and all the common areas in the building are decorated in various themes and games. James was able to go last year, and Isla joined this year. They had a blast, and left with bags of candy and toys. All in all, it was a good warmup for the big night.
The neighborhood did well this year for Halloween. Houses up and down the streets were decorated and candy ready for the bands of kids going up and down yelling “Trick or Treat!” to anyone brave enough to open their door. Isla got a lot of the “aww’s” of course in her giraffe costume, while the older two got bags full of candy.
In an effort to eat healthier, we’re cutting back on meat and eating more vegetables. James and Isla have taken to it really well, Ashlyn has been a little more reluctant. All of them seem to be excited when you put the vegetables in an ice cube tray for some reason.
The Fall sports season is coming to an end. James wrapped up his last weekend of soccer and Ashlyn’s football team is in the playoffs so any game can be the last. It will be interesting to see if they want to continue the same sports again in the Spring, and life is going to get even more hectic as Isla enters the wonderful world of sports as well.
Happy Halloween everyone!
