Treats

The sky was clear and bright. The air was crisp. The children could be heard down the block, happily shouting, "Trick or Treat!"

Gavin had a blast. Running through the neighborhood with his cousin was a thrill. Benett's short little legs tried to keep up... but the novelty wore off quickly.

I knew he was tired when he said, "We gotta hurry up and git home, mama." He wasn't whining. He wasn't complaining. He was stating the obvious. Both Monte and I were in full agreement.

The night was a success for our little team. Both of the boys enjoyed going through their bags of loot. Ellie... well she was content to eat a sucker... with or without the wrapper removed.
