Since Halloween was cancelled due to COVID
(which was devastating to me)
we decided to go pick pumpkins at the pumpkin patch & carve pumpkins for fun.
The kids LOVED getting their hands all gooey & gross from the innards. Taya & I helped everyone else (we both had already carved pumpkins a few times this season & decided that was enough for us) & I think everyone did a really great job.
After carving pumpkins, we decided to take the 180 full sized candy bars I had bought to hand out at our church & squadron trunk or treats to all the kids & teens we knew. We hopped into the car & visited over 50 homes (it took us 4.5 hours ON Halloween night) to deliver them. Because of COVID we couldn't actually sit & talk to anyone, but we at least got to give everyone a little piece of Halloween fun in the form of a full size candy bar.
It was just what my soul needed for the day. It made me feel happy that I could give them some Halloween joy & it made my waist happy that I didn't have 180 candy bars beckoning me to eat them every second of the day. Win/Win. :-)
