Halloween festivities went off well. Saturday we had the block party, complete with a huge pumpkin moon bounce. The afternoon ended with 4 toddlers/infants and their parents in our house hanging out. It made me realize my house is not child-proof in any way. Dangers around every turn! Will need to work on that.
But what a difference a few years makes. A few years ago, we would have been just getting ready to go out, rocking out in crazy costumes at several Halloween parties and bars. This year, everyone was gone by 6pm, having to take their kids home for dinner and bedtime. My, how times change.
And actual Halloween was busy, as usual. A neighbor estimated we had about 250-300 kids. All I know is we ran out of the 400 pieces of candy within an hour and a half. Had to turn off the lights and close up shop. Iron Man was the most popular costume. Lots of kids with big puffy muscles.
I had terrible heartburn/vurps all weekend. I think it was because I did not eat too well, we had take-out both Friday and Saturday, it was greasier than I normally cook, and I ate later than I normally do. It really reinforces the need to cook for myself, and eat well. Last night I made dinner (we always have old-school tacos on Halloween!) and I was fine. Slept well, not a smidge of heartburn.
29 weeks, people. Oh my!

29 weeks, wow!! Are we ever going to get a belly shot out of you???
ReplyDeleteMy house is still not baby proofed and Ty is 4m old. You got time.
Wow, you get a lot of trick-or-treaters! 400, that's impressive.
ReplyDeleteAnd 29 weeks is SO exciting! You are so far past the half-way mark that the end is almost in site :)
Glad you had a great Halloween weekend (aside from the vurps).
ReplyDeleteWow that is a lot of candy to give out! We only had TWO solitary trick or treaters, which was completely fine by me. Will have to dive into those Skittles all by myself :)
ReplyDelete29 weeks! Wow! Better start childproofing! : )
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you found the trigger for the vurping and the heartburn! Even though I don't have a first hand experience, I have heard that ginger candy can help alleviate some of those symptoms too.
ReplyDeleteBut other than that sounds like you had an awesome weekend! :)
