Since we haven't had a single trick-or-treater in the last two years we went down to our friends, Robin and Mike's house down in Foothill Ranch. Their streets were covered with kids. It look like three elementary schools just let out. I was utterly amazed at how many people were out in their community. I had never seen anything like it. Robin and Mike's little girls went out - Alyssa was Belle from Beauty and the Beast and Brenna was a fairy princess. Unfortunately, the minute they came back from trick-or-treating they immediately stripped their costumes off so I never got a picture. But trust me, they were adorable. The great thing about little kids and Halloween is that they are really too young to eat all that candy so after the kids went to bed we all poured our drinks of choice (rum & coke zero for me!) and raided the candy bags. I just can't believe how much the girls are growing up and how smart both of them are. Alyssa is reading at four
and Brenna is only 22 months and she knows her phonetic alphabet.
You were six months old and full of fun, With a blink of an eye, you suddenly were 1.. There were many things we were going to do, But I turned my head and you turned two... At two, you were very dependent on me, But independence took over when you were three... Your third birthday, another year I tried to ignore, But when I lit the candles there weren't 3, but four... Four was the year that you really thrived, Why, look at you now, you're already five... Now you are ready for books and rules, This is the year that you go to school... The big day came; you were anxious to go, We walked to the bus, going oh so slow... As you climbed aboard and waved goodbye, I felt a lump in my throat and a tears stung my eyes... Time goes so fast, its hard to believe, That yesterday you were home here with me... And tomorrow when the bus brings you home & you jump to the ground You'll be wearing your cap and graduation gown... So I'm holding on to these moments as hard as I can, Because the next time I look, I'll be seeing a woman!
I like to occasionally read....
