I was out for a jog and Carrot and Banana were riding their bikes along with me. Due to the weather trick-or-treating had been moved to Friday and I knew the kids were disappointed They had heard some of the daycare kids say how they were going to other areas to trick-or-treat that night and then on Friday too.
As we were about to turn out of the neighborhood I stopped suddenly and said "Who wants to ask their neighborhood friends if they want to come over for an impromptu halloween party". The response was unanimous so Banana went around on his bike to do the invites and then we rushed home and I told them to clean up the house, ask JonJon to pull dinner out of the oven when the timer went off and I dashed off to the store to get some snacks.
At 7 o'clock they all started to arrive and the night halloween night felt special again. I'm not even sure they watched the halloween Charlie Brown or Garfield movies there was so much chatter coming from the TV room but the were all snacked up and seemed to have fun just the same.
Not too bad for a 5:30 idea and a 7:00 party.
Wow, this looks like a blast!
