This Halloween my daughter and I got invited to not one but two parties...it was awesome!
The first was through Shuswap Association for Community living, where we had a potluck (and I brought applesauce pumpkin muffins!)
We were able to watch a movie (Paranorman) and have a popcorn for only 3$!
After the movie they handed out prizes for the best costumes and my daughter got chosen for cutest animal, (she was a dalmation) and recieved a 5$ gift card for DQ! (Hmmmm...this is a tough one, I'm not to keen on anyone eating sugar, especially young children) but maybe a fruit smoothie (although not comparable to a home-made one) might be acceptable.
Next my daughter and I attended a "fall festival" provided by our local church where my daughter participated in knocking over bowling pins, throw the toilet paper into the toilet (Who thought up these games?!) and bobbing for donuts! Later on we watched the fireworks and I was very impressed with how my daughter handled the busy day with lots of noise. I feared that she would get overstimulated and start crying but she was calm, and happy go lucky the all through. I have never felt more blessed to be able to bring such an amazing human being into this world. She has brought so much joy to a life that I one time felt was worthless.
Even I splurged and ended up eating hot dogs, a bag of chips, and lots of candy (I paid for it later...candy hangover ugh!)
