We had a really nice time with all of our Halloween activities this year. We went to the pumpkin patch in Lathrop, got and hollowed out 5 pumpkins, made 4 Jack-O-Lanterns (do the math), made a really cute little ghost costume for Darrien, went Trick or Treating near downtown, and even got back in time to hand out some candy to the local kids. It was quite the success when it was all over. And there there was that special moment that everyone has been waiting for. The CADNY! (ah yes, there was candy). Though I expected that Darrien would shove the whole thing in his mouth like a starved monkey, he actually savored and inspected his candy. For the first bite anyways… After that, his mouth was stuffed with that one morsel of candy until his cheeks looked like a chipmunk with a winter’s worth of nuts to hide. Take a look for yourself
