The Kids Grew Up. I Bought More Halloween Candy.🍬😂
We live in one of those neighborhoods that's SO much fun on Halloween. A big circle with connecting streets, perfect for trick-or-treating!
I can still picture my kids getting dressed up, running out to meet their friends, and all the excitement in the neighborhood. My husband or I would follow behind with the other parents, occasionally with an adult beverage tucked into a cup. Don't judge us! 😂
These days, Halloween looks a little different. The kids are older, parties have replaced trick-or-treating, and we're more likely to be dropping someone off than walking the neighborhood.
But I'm still excited! With Halloween falling on a Saturday, I've doubled up on candy, pretzels, and Goldfish for the little ones.
Apparently, I'm now the house with snack options. 😂
It's funny how quickly things change. I swear we were just enjoying summer at the beach, and here we are heading into Halloween and Thanksgiving!
It's reminded me of something...
We can miss the way things used to be and still find so much joy in the way things are now.
We can't slow down the calendar or keep our kids little forever, but we CAN choose to be present and enjoy the season we're living.
The seasons will keep changing. So will we. And there's still so much to look forward to. 🤍🍂
What's one Halloween tradition you still love?
