Two teenagers, 4 tweens, 3 children, 2 adults, 1 overgrown hair ball. We resembled an oversized can of sardines once everyone was finally stuffed into the Odyssey. The day was beautiful with a warmth that drove onlookers at the park to the shade of neighboring trees. A spirited game of tag brought a healthy glisten to the children's faces as we soaked up all the sun our pores could possibly take then headed home to the ominous to-do list:
(spend the next 60 minutes begging half the kids to slow down and the other half to hurry up!)
It took 4 adults to run our household that evening (thanks grammy and grandpa). I never got to enjoy the fire pit, the hot cocoa or the neighbors but I couldn't have loved the night more. I got to spend the evening with a witch a vampire and a plethora of equally exciting elementary aged characters. They needed me and even more importantly . . . they wanted me.
Eating up this time in life,
Can't stop myself from sneaking Snickers Bars
out of the kids trick-or-treat bags
What's your weakness?
