Well, there was an emergency at the store, so I was a bit late getting home and doing Kelsey's hair and make-up, so 10 minutes late dropping her off. Tim called and told me the JV game was way ahead of schedule (like over 30 minutes) and that I probably would not get there in time to see any of it. It was an away game, and I just didn't have it in me to drive all that way for the Varsity game. I decided to make a stop at the grocery store and pick up a few bags of candy.
There I sat, on my front porch, alone, passing out candy. Truly pathetic. Thankfully, Tim came home a bit later and sat there with me. I know next year will be better...we will carve pumpkins again...Kyle will probably scare kids like he did last year, and Kels will probably help pass out candy. This was just a weird year. But it is a glimpse of what is in store for me a few years down the road.
I miss holding little hands, walking up and down the street, encouraging them to go up to the door and say "trick or treat." :(
On a happier note, here are a few photos of our fairy before she left for her party. She did win the costume contest and prize!
