Hey Friends! It's been a while since I blogged, and the last couple entries haven't been very upbeat ones. Several times over the past month I wanted to blog more, but it was going to be more complaining, so I just kept it to myself. However, today is November 1st, and therefore my month of thankfulness begins! So get ready for some positivity!
Yesterday was Halloween. For the first time ever, we waited until dusk, then took the kids out through the neighborhood to trick or treat. We've taken them trick or treating before, to offices, churches, and other trunk or treat events, but this was the first time we were out at night with all the other kids. We had a wonderful time! The kids did a great job! Connor got a little timid at some of the spookier houses, but opened up when Avery told people what she was dressed up as and he wanted to contribute as well. Avery may not know what a Flapper is, but she knew she was dressed like one! I tried to explain to Connor that he was a Mobster, but when he tried to repeat it back, it came out Monster, which he insisted he was not. What he actually ended up telling people was, "I'm a man!" Which was crazy adorable, so we went with it. ;)
So today, on November 1st, I'm thankful for my neighborhood. It's a safe, family-friendly place where my kids can be kids. There were tons of families with small children out last night. Everyone driving around paid careful attention to watch out for the kids and families. I think it's great that we live in a place where we can still go for to door to trick or treat. I feel safe here. That's something money just can't buy. So today I'm thankful for our neighborhood, a safe place to raise our kids and watch them grow. :)
Happy November, Everyone!
