Happy Halloween! Connor had fun at his first Halloween party on Friday night. I’m not quite sure what he was expecting, but he was definitely overwhelmed at first, and to be honest, so was this Pre-K mommy! There were kids, some were as big as small adults, screaming and walk-running allover the place. Parents Magazine recently reported that the whole “sugar high” theory in kids is actually a myth…I beg to differ. Eventually he settled into a beanbag toss game that occupied him and a few other classmates for a good portion of the night. The massive helmet only lasted a short while; I’m wondering how it’s going to work out for trick or treating tonight. He's been practicing different “trick or treat” phrases through the Vader voicebox: "You don't know the power of the dark side...trick or treat", "Don't make me destroy you...trick or treat", and of course, "I AM your father...trick or treat"!!! We’re really looking forward to hitting up the neighborhood with our buddies from down the street, so I’m trying to rest up this afternoon and save my energy for tonight. When I suggested that I might stay home to pass out candy Connor’s response was “Well mommy, I really need you to come out with me. I might get scared because I’ll still be four, you know.” I obviously followed that up by smooshing his face and telling him I’d go out :)
I really just want to get through tonight for Connor; after that I'm SO ready to be done with being pregnant. Abby, you are invited to join us anytime after 7:30pm this evening. I'm barely mobile, so it's not like I will be doing much productive to prepare for you in the next 12 days. Let's just do this!
Have a safe and fun night everyone!
