I'm not sure why, but Halloween always seems a little more hectic than it should be. We rush to get the kids home, rush to eat dinner, rush to put on our costumes and then rush to get pictures before going out trick or treating. This year the kids seemed quite resistant to the whole process. Nolan was in a funk and didn't want to get dressed, Tori didn't want to take pictures, and the actual trick-or-treating was no treat. Nolan asked to play at nearly every house and didn't quite get that we were only there to get candy, not go in and play. Tori caught on very quickly to the whole candy thing and rather enjoyed the trick-or-treating part. We finally gave up after about 2 blocks and went home to dig in to the candy. When it was all said and done, the kids were exhausted and hit the hay late, but also slept in late the next day. Maybe next year will be a different story.
