On the sabbath

 On one hand, Halloween fell on Sunday this year. 

What is a parent to do?

Do we go trick or treating? Do we go full pagan on the Lord's Day?

I don't really know the answer to any of those questions. 

I just know that parenting is hard and a total mystery. 

We opted for pumpkin carving with the Flynns and trick or treating inside our own house. 

When the pumkins were lit and put out front, we let the kids run around and "trick or treat" at different doors and stations in the house. It was SOOO fast and completely anticlimactic. 

 

Dad still collected his snicker tax.

And the girls had fun handing out candy to the neighbor kids. 

On the bright side, it was good to have someone to guard our severed foot. It's been in the family for many years. We'd be sad if it was stolen by unsavory youths.
