Halloween weekend

The whole weekend, S was so anxious for Halloween's arrival. Sunday morning, she woke up @ 5:30AM daylight saving time and said "Mom, wake up, it's Halloween!!. Let's go trick or treat, the sky is dark already"
Me: "It's early morning, go back to sleep."
My in-laws came by Sunday morning so hubby and I took advantage of the baby sitters and went for a walk around our neighborhood. Hubby wanted to go on a longer trail then I threaten that he would have to carry me home if I get too tired and dehydrated so we compromised on the medium trail which took us 1.5 hours.
Brother in-law and his family came by in the afternoon so S & E (S's cousin, 3 yr old) can go trick or great together. Shortly after their arrival, E's mom realized that she forgot to bring E's pumpkin shape candy collector so E's mom had to go for an emergency candy bag hunt. Unfortunately, the two stores did not have any pumpkin left, but with her determination, she spotted a pumpkin displayed behind a glass window of Fantastic Sam and offer to buy the pumpkin. The lady in charge said that it belonged to her boss so she coudn't sell it without the boss's permission but she's willing to let E's mom borrow it for Halloween if she promised to return it. That was really nice of her to help a desperate mom in need and trust that it will be returned. The kids had a great time trick or treating around the neighborhood. The adults restored their faith in people.
Later today, I will return the pumpkin with candy and thank her for being a nice person.
From one Sam to another, thank you Fantastic Sam!
