Well its over. The one month build up to the big day. Candy, costumes and fun. The neighborhood was loaded with kids. I would say an easy 150 or more. I took my boys for about a 2 mile walk. Through caul de sacs (sp?)and across many many streets. We would up with close to 5 pounds of candy, but we wound up giving out close to 5 pounds of candy. My kids were complaining that they were tired and tha candy was too heavy. I did have them dump it in to several bags that I carried for them. In the end I was beat. I did have them dresses in dark clothes , but with glow sticks and assorted lights it helped alot. In the end I had quite a blast with my kids.
Somewhere in the night I felt cheated of my own childhood. My mom had taken me out as a kid a few times and after that I went out with my own friends. Its funny the older I become the more I wish for my dad in my childhood. Its in the past and its a good guide to look forward to. To not only see what was wrong , but to see what was done right and grow as a dad......
