Okay,
Buckle up...5...4...3...2...1...and WE"RE OFF!
When our first son was born I thought it was a big deal to put this plump little guy in a superman costume and zoom him around the neighborhood. From family to friend we bounced, giddy with joy over trick or treating with a little meat ball who had no teeth.
A few years later it was the same, but now with daughter number TWO and son number ONE. Watching them toddle about as they tried their best to understand why the forbidden candy is now in vogue and why the sugar bugs don't like THIS Candy. They trick or treat or tickerteat as best they can, eating all along the way, despite our warnings.
Next came number Three. So off we went with Buzz, Hello Kitty and some little tiger. Like three little ducks, they ran from door to door. TickerTeat. Finally out of breath and with a new appetite, my little tiger just camped out in the wagon gnawing on his stash.
Its been six years now. Number one is 6, number Two turns 5 in a few days, number Three is three and a half, and number Four will turn 1 just after number two. It seems as if we've been zipping that baby about the whole time, but it's really been 3 babys.
So now the craze is upon us now and we're starting again. What do we wear, where do we go? Does any one know? We'll get them dressed and take them out, we'll watch three walk, and one crawl.
It'll be madness, but I know what I'll be thinking. Watching those 4 go.
When can we do it again, and man oh man, it is a REALLY big deal.
Trick or Treat?
