We had a great Halloween. It was a lot of fun to meet up with our neighbors and have the kids pal around together with their 'buddy system'. Of course we forgot the flashlights and at the last minute realized we didn't have enough pumpkin buckets for each kid but somehow we did it! Oh-- and Nathan did NOT want to dress up-- but in the end he realized people liked his costume (lamb) and he was wearing it quite happily.
Xander and Molly are now in Philly (although no one called me to say they arrived safely hmm) and that leaves poor Nathan and Max all on their own! They definitely missed their older siblings. I had to play 'the flashlight game', turn on basement lights for them, fix their trains, and stop Nathan from chasing Max with scissors. I don't think I've ever had someone running with scissors before. I don't think I ever imagine that one child would run after another child in such a threatening way with scissors either. The bottom line might be that it's way more work with 2 kids than 4?
