LEADING UP TO HALLOWEEN, THERE WERE SEVERAL THINGS WHICH MADE ME RATHER NERVOUS AS A PARENT. Hardly any of it had to do with the holiday I love. Almost all of it had to do with the kids I love and how they keep me laughing. And concerned. And scared. Here are my examples:

1. Can you believe that these boys will be motor vehicle drivers within 5 years? That’s scary! {Will and his friends leaving the school lunchroom last Thursday.}

 

2. Somehow we have a math lover among us. She even puts it on her Halloween crafts. That’s scary! {Grace’s artwork at the church Fall Festival on Saturday morning.}

 

3. Ninjas drink from juice pouches before they go on candy missions. Somehow I imagined it would be something different. Scary! {William at the neighborhood pizza party before the trick-or-treating began on Halloween night.}

 

4. Grace shows her unmentionables to the neighborhood because she thinks that Hermione Granger should be able to practice her trapeze act in a school uniform. That’s really, really scary. Her father and I watched in amazement. I don’t think the Ninja brother helped the situation at all! {Neighborhood pizza party before the trick-or-treating began on Halloween night.}

 

Happy {not so} Wordless Wednesday!
