It was a great night in Va. Beach-the weather was perfect. And I must say, for the first time in 19 years, I didn't have to go TOT'ing with the kids! The boys were on their own tonight, and came back with pillowcases that weighed more than they do. DH and I enjoyed sitting on the front porch and greeting the little ghouls. We gave out sodas or juice boxes,and candy. We went through 3 cases of soda, 3 boxes of Capri Sun, and almost all of our candy. I felt a twinge of embarrassment sending my kids out in "Homemade Costumes." Although we are struggling, we do live in a pretty upscale neighborhood. It was refreshing to see, that there were only a handful of store bought costumes. It was enjoyable to see the creativity of the kids. And it was funny to see all of the Dads supervising the kids , with cocktail in hand. It was a good night.
