My HVAC system would have my friends and I toasty and when the kids finally came home, soaking wet and cold, they would be able to warm up quickly too
My kids have been talking about Halloween for the last month. They are finally at an age where they can go trick or treating with their friends and they have made their own costumes too. Hanging with their friends, instead of walking around with mom and dad, is the “cool” thing to do now. I did offer to tag along behind them to make sure that they will be safe but the protested about that too. It is a little bittersweet because I will miss seeing them go door to door in their little costumes and being scared of some of the displays. Some of the other moms are coming over to hand out candy with me and drink wine, I guess that will help to ease my aching heart. Having your kids become more independent has some advantages especially when it comes to my comfort. As the night approached, the weather forecast was grim. They were calling for wet snow and wind. We have had Halloweens like that before and it was always miserable walking around. I guess that was the biggest perk of staying home. I could sit in my heated and dry home while the kids ran around in the cold. My HVAC system would have my friends and I toasty and when the kids finally came home, soaking wet and cold, they would be able to warm up quickly too. I will make sure that there is hot chocolate ready to warm them on the inside too. Halloween has changed in our house but I think I will be fine with the transition after all.
