Well, my little bugs (see entry below for pictures) certainly enjoyed their Halloween. Jack wore his costume to school and that afternoon they had a Halloween party. That is code for sticking an IV into his arm and directly injecting him with as much sugar as his bloodstream could take. Then they sent him home so he could bounce off my walls and terrorize his sister. All of this before we have even done any trick or treating.
Alex remained her calm, lady-bug self throughout the entire candy-fueled madness of walking around our friends neighborhood. We have no trick-or-treaters in our neck of the woods so we pawned ourselves off on our friends whose neighborhood is besieged by children from all over the U.S. Seriously, they get bused in.
Anyway, evening ended on an up note when they returned from gathering candy. Jack was eyeing his bag filled with liquid adrenaline when I stopped him with a question. "Would you like to trade that candy in for a new toy train?" You could hear Howie Mandel in his head saying "Deal or no deal?". He went for it and handed over the whole basket. In return, he got one of his dad's boyhood train cars. Everyone went to bed happy.
