I'VE GOT CANDY! the stories i've been told are all true. at the end of october people really do just hand out candy. and here i thought today was going to be kind of dull.
got up this morning and hung out with mom. we were off to a slow start. i ate breakfast and just kind of lounged on the couch watching pbs kids for awhile. mom did things in the kitchen. it was kind of late in the morning when she decided we should go out and do stuff. i didn't really want to go, i was comfortable on the couch.
we got dressed and went to the dollar store, everything's a dollar. mom filled her basket full of random things. she said she needed things for arts and crafts. she keeps saying that but we have yet to actually do any arts and crafts. mom got the stuff she wanted. we paid and left the store.
our next stop was- the craft store. mom and i walked around looking at everything. she found a couple things to put in her basket. i just wanted to look at label makers. i am obsessed with label makers right now. they've got buttons you can push. mom got everything she needed so we paid and left the store.
mom turned the car on and the clock said- 12:10. hey, it's lunch time! mom drove us home. she put things away and then made me a peanut butter samich. i ate it and it was good.
after lunch i got to play for awhile until mom started in with the- you need to take a nap business. eye roll. i don't want to take a nap, i want to play. nap now. i sat in bed for awhile and talked with my friends. i did eventually fall asleep, only for mom to wake me up a few minutes later. i'm sleeping! mom pulled the blanket off me- hurry up, time to get up, you're missing halloween!
what? i jumped out of bed and my eyes flew open- IT'S HALLOWEEN? mom said, yeah. there's a couple parties going on, let's go. so she helped me get into my buzz lightyear costume. we jumped in the car and drove down to the university.
it was kind of busy at the university. there were people and kids everywhere. mom couldn't find a place to park any where. she saw a cop directing traffic and asked him where to go. he told mom to try the parking lot across the street and down the block. whoo-hooo. mom found an empty parking garage and we parked the car. it was only a short walk to the sorority party. we got there just in time. the line was not too long.
i got a goodie bag at the entrance with a tshirt and everything. very cool. the trick or treat event was huge. there were college girls every time you turned around stuffing candy into my bag. most of the time i remembered to say thank you. i didn't know where to look. there was so much going on. i just followed mom around. she led me to the pizza station and i got a slice of cheese pizza for my dinner. it was pretty good.
i played a few games at the different houses. we got drinks along the way. mostly tonight was all about getting candy. each house had a splash pool full of candy outside and then girls with buckets of candy. candy candy candy every where. we only made it to about half the houses before i asked mom to take me home. my bag was heavy. mom said- ok, we'll go. there's a few more events this week anyway. what? more halloween? more candy giving? what you say mom? yeah, tomorrow is the library party.
halloween is so cool.
got home and i had some apple sauce with a big cold juice. getting candy is hard work. mom let me pick 1 piece of candy out of my bag so i reached in and plucked out a candy bar. mom opened it for me and ate half of it. that's ok, there's plenty to go around.
dad's home now. i'm going to hang out with him.
