Happy Halloween!


Nope your back is not a trick! Nor is a treat by any means. It is supposed to rain all day which means for many of us we will not be feeling so awesome today. Some of us will be taking children out somewhere to trick or treat. Remember to go slow there is plenty of time for the kids to get candy. Last year I took my nephews I would let them run but they could only go 5 houses ahead where I could see them and then they'd have to wait for me to catch up. Cul-de-sacs are really nice you can stand in one spot and watch them go in a circle. Of course my nephews were old enough to do that. Some people just like do drive their kids around so they don't have to be up and around, hey whatever feels better I am game for. The little ones you may just have to make them be a little more patient. It's one night where it's free candy so it may be hard.
Ah patience what a word that is, learning to wait quietly while things work out. That is such a hard thing even as an adult. I don't have time for this...that is something I hear often. Well our bodies have a way of making us learn the meaning of the word. Waiting in line at the grocery store or waiting on hold for someone to pick up the other end of the phone can prove difficult sometimes. I try to turn it into a positive twist, grocery line? That's okay because I don't like wasting money on magazines, I stand in the longest line so I can read a magazine fully. That way I don't feel rushed and I save money because I don't have to buy the magazine now. On the phone and get put on hold? That's okay I just put it on speaker and sew up my dogs toys or do a chore. You'd be surprised how fast they come back on the line when you change your focus to something else.
So remember to bring something extra along tonight if you have to walk slower than normal maybe play "I spy" while you roam the streets tonight. The kids won't even know you are moving slower if you move their attention away from running around. They will just be happy to spend time with you!
That's all for today happy Halloween!
