It was too long. And there were too many things in it. They were all fun. But I could have enjoyed it all more if there was half as much going on. I know, that makes me a cranky introvert.
1. Really awesome Waldorf Halloween celebration. Check.
2. Neighborhood trick-or-treating, although I am now pretty sure our nabe has the highest concentration of weird people who set up elaborate, graphic recreations of horror movies on their front porches. That’s not freaky at all.
3. Excellent, raucous party that had parents AND kids, and green chile stew and posole.
That was just Saturday.
Sunday, my kiddos performed in a recital. Nathaniel played some viola and Honoree played a solo– “Go Tell Aunt Rhody” on the cello.
Then we mellowed out, I got frozen pizza from Trader Joe’s for dinner, and the kids went to bed EARLY (as in 6pm, because it felt like 7 to them) because grownups needed grownup time. I mean, really. We do, don’t we?
