Trick or Treat

In the car on the way to school this morning Fi piped up from the back seat, "Its too bad that Halloween isn't more than once a year."

She was thrilled to be able to wear a costume outside the house (as were a number of adults at school from the grinning faces).  She was excited about fun activities instead of hard schoolwork.  Particularly she was excited about trick or treating tonight.

A short forty-five minutes and she was tuckered out and smiling big enough to crack her cheeks. And she made a point of asking for an extra for her brother when she was at his teacher's house.

When we got home, the Little Sprout (who helped Papa man the door at the house) sighed dramatically, "I wish I went with you."

Next year, little man.  Next year.
