Top 10 things I’m thankful for.

My kids…

1. ate nutritious snacks prior to stuffing their mouths with what must amount to buckets of refined sugar.
2. were charming and courteous!
3. suffered no costuming tragedies, except that the little one decided last-minute to ditch Diego and go with “blue princess.”
4. didn’t, to my knowledge, ask for treats with any reference to requesting homeowners to smell their feet or other body parts.
5. had NO sugar-induced meltdowns that couldn’t be solved by exclaiming “Hey, there’s another house! Go, get your trick-or-treating on!”
6. didn’t get jumped by ninjas (except at the end of the night, but he was 5 and rather short, so we had the advantage).
7. want to be skeletons next year (take that, Disney!)
8. shared their trick-or-treating bounty with each other and their parents.
9. lost interest in their candy after a few days (WOOOT! CANDY! -errr, I’ll… save that for next year. Heh.)
10. passed out like floppy tired things and slept for 9 straight, uninterrupted, blessed-gods-thank-you hours.
