Halloween this year was fun, and perfectly timed with family activities and memories. Liam handled Trick or Treating really well. For maybe the first time EVER, there were no meltdowns, no freakouts... it's amazing to see him mature and just show his authentic awesome self to other people!
Pumpkin carving was disgusting, as always. I have to admit, that of the more frivolous things I have really regretted post-divorce, not having someone here to carve pumpkins is a huge problem for me :) I don't mind the cutting. I hate the scraping, the goo, the stuff on the back of my hands, yick....!
But this year's pumpkin carving had a 9 year old helper who wanted to do it himself. We carved pumpkins on the deck, with Sam toddling around while Liam and I worked. It was a sweet, sweet family moment I want to always cherish!
This year we went Trick or Treating in our new neighborhood with the neighbor kids who live behind us. I am so fortunate to have awesome neighbor moms to talk to and that Liam has kids his age who seemingly enjoy playing with him! My mom came over to hand out candy while we walked, and then put Sam down at 7ish while I finished the neighborhood with Liam. My life is so very beautiful in so many ways, I am so grateful and I am also glad I have the good fortune of being able to SEE the beauty!
Happy Halloween :)
