Halloween has come and gone....again....Dylan had a blast of course and mommy once again has told herself "I won't go through this much work next year" (though we all know I will)....
Though I love so much the process of having Dylan pick out a costume and get dressed up, overdose on candy, and contemplate which houses are "too scary" to visit, I still REALLY miss the halloween days from home...
I'm not joking when I said we had probably a thousand trick or treaters at our house where I grew up. It was an event!! Grandparents, family, friends, parents of friends, neighbors, huge dinners, hay rides---such a blast!! No candy inspections or adult supervision needed-you knew every person of every house you went to.....And how EVERY year, EVERYONE in the whole neighborhood KNEW the Moffitt's would give out WHOLE candy bars!! And because we were tight growing up, we got dibs on the first ones and as many as we wanted.
Fun times.....maybe next year I'll venture to the Lone Star state to give Dylan a taste of what it was like for mommy...

Yup, I remember the good ol' days out in Fannett, when we would go out trick-or-treating and wear ourselves out running from house to house, trying to get as much candy as we could. I remember our little pumpkin buckets would overflow and we would have to go home & dump out the candy and go back for more. Good times!
