no trick-or-treating

November 1st, 2006 at 02:43 am

Ds1 was feeling better, but still tired. He went to bed at 5:30 last night and slept until 5:30am - tonight we were planning to go to a few friends and relatives houses (we are too rural to go house to house here, so we get in the car and drive), but he fell asleep at 6pm. I decided that waking him up, besides being near impossible, would be more for my benefit than his, since he really does not even know what trick-or-treating is yet, so we let him sleep. We'll go next year. My younger son is too little to care at all.
We had a grand total of 6 trick-or-treaters tonight - all neighbors. We don't have to spend too much on candy 'round these parts. At about 6pm, my brother (in a village) had already had 100 and was still going strong.
I spent today at a training on autism - pretty interesting, although not too much info I can actually use in practice (a lot of theories). I did receive a nice free lunch out of it (free to me - my agency paid for my registration). I stopped at my favorite discount store on the way home and they are celebrating their anniversary. They had a cart full of goodies at the check-out with a sign saying "Free- take one per family". It felt weird to pick something up and walk out of the store without paying! I selected a bottle of apple juice for my boys - it's their favorite.
