As soon as TJ and I came home from school we all dressed in our costumes and drove to Trevor's work. Boba Fett met us at the entrance (what a cool place to work where your dad gets to dress up as a Star Wars guy all day). We went around to the different decked out rooms for games and pictures. The boys loved the Star Wars room the most (finance department). The boys battled Boba Fett, Darth Maul, and Darth Vader, got Tatooine Tattoos, and glow necklaces. They also really liked the Batman room. We stayed and played until 5:30 then raced home, ate a bowl of oatmeal, and headed out the door trick-or-treating with friends.
When we got home Trevor told me he wanted to let the kids eat candy and watch the old Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie (he had just finished reading the book to the boys that week). My first thought was "no way, you don't have to deal with candy overload and late night backlash tomorrow." I replied "Why not honey, Halloween is just once a year." I must admit it was a magical night all snuggled up on the coach together watching Charlie and the Chocolate factory. I think this might be the beginning of a wonderful Halloween tradition.
Happy Trick-or-Treater (I had to pry that pink bucket from her clenched fist at bedtime).
