Trick-or-Treat

Happy day after Halloween!  I hope you’re surviving the sugar crashes and runny noses.  We had a good day together and I tried to make it fun for the littles, because they are only little once, ya know.  I made these for lunch..

and Sawyer got a fun little dessert!

After lunch, brother took a short nap and sister thought she saw a “scary shadow”…which I think translates to, “I’m too excited to take nap.”  🙂  So, we got around, got dressed and headed into Grant to trick-or-treat at the businesses downtown.

Oh, yes, Cubbie bear got to go trick-or-treating, too!  (More on that in a future post!)

We did a little speed trick-or-treating down main because it was cold, at least to us.  I’m starting to think Sawyer’s about as tough in the cold as I am…which means, she’s not.  We hit all the main places and then decided we were just going to go on home and finish partying at our 3rd annual Phipps Family Camp IN.  We always set the tent up in the living room on Halloween and eat a fun supper and watch Charlie Brown and just have fun together! She and brother fell asleep on the way home so our party started like this:

I woke her up for some pumpkin pizza but it never got too wild around here.

We did watch this…

I just wish there were fewer uses of the word “stupid.”  Sigh.

All in all, a good Halloween.   I encourage you to show grace to the littles today, mommas. They probably had too much candy and not enough sleep, but love will cover a multitude of sins.  Love is patient, love is kind…it keeps no record of wrongs.  They are only little once…  Next week, you’ll look back on the halloween festivities with fondness and it will have been worth the tears and meltdowns and incessant disciplining you might be experiencing today.  Don’t ask me how I know…  😉
