Time to put on those costumes and have some fun! My children went reverse trick-or-treating yesterday at Paul’s office. The goal is to help our children practice the art of giving. However, they seem to come back with as much or more candy than we started.
Today, my children are ready to attend two events, head out into our neighborhood, and complete the evening snuggled into my bed watching It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Sometime in there, we will complete homework.
In working ahead, my children have planned for today’s events by completing assignments early or using earned coupons for today’s homework. I was so proud of them both for working on the material needed to master the information for their tests on Friday. Both of them worked hard to alleviate the homework load today.

Jenny Martin over on Southern Savers put together this great list of FREE or inexpensive Halloween dining offers. In addition to her list, I would add the discounts at Stevi B’s, Fuddruckers, and Olive Garden.
- Church groups
- Jump zones
- Truck-or-Treats
- Your own neighborhood
Though I don’t usually get dressed up, I will come up with a costume to snag a FREE Krispy Kreme Doughnut. If we had an APlus Sunoco nearby, we would accept their FREE candy bars.
My little princesses and Greek warrior Ajax will be on the prowl along with all the other little super heroes and characters. Please remember to drive extra carefully this evening and watch out for all little ones making memories. Though parents will be about, children do cut across streets without looking. If we all are a little bit more careful and aware, we might prevent a disaster from occurring.
For those of you who do not celebrate Halloween, I wish you a blessed Reformation Day! 🙂
If you are joining our family in this season of candy and treats, then have a great evening making memories, capturing smiles, and using time wisely with family, friends, and neighbors.
Happy Halloween!
