Tonight was Halloween. Earlier in the evening were talking about how we didn’t have any kids around to take trick or treating. The high school boys were at one of the church trunk or treats handing out hot dogs with their cross country team. We asked our son if he wanted to dress up and go. He said sure. So he put on his leather jacket, sunglasses, and bandana and dressed up as a biker. We went to the church trunk-or-treat.

So that was nice. I told my husband we were going to have to adopt some kids, like a sibling group, or at least become foster parents. He wasn’t completely against the idea. When I asked about a puppy he said it would probably at least have to be a few years. On a more serious note, I don’t know how adopting kids would not somehow take away from your ability to be there for the kids you already have. I want to be there for them.

We went to IHOP for supper. The food was good and it wasn’t crowded at all. Earlier in the day I’d tried to find my taller Christmas tree to decorate it with the orange lights. I could only find the short ones so I didn’t end up decorating anything. So I went ahead and got caught up on my homework. We have access to some TV through YouTube so we watched the World Series game which was fun all snuggled up on the couch.
