What We Did For Halloween - Meredith Rines

What did you do for Halloween this year?

Did you go trick-or-treating, hit up one of the many trunk-or-treats, or did you go to a friend’s house?

We did nothing. Well that’s not entirely true, but it was pretty close to nothing. If you caught my Instagram Stories earlier in the week then you knew that our little boy ended up super sick Tuesday night – like all night.

So we had decided that we were just going to take it easy on Halloween. We figured there was no since in making him any sicker by going trick-or-treating. When Halloween came we couldn’t have been happier with our decision.

It poured down rain most of the night.

Plus, it was cold. So we were so happy to be dry and warm inside our outside instead of outside.

We did grab a bag of candy and turn on our front porch light so our son could help pass out candy to any brave trick-or-treaters.

After a few hours we only had a handful of kids come by so we turned off our porch light and turned on Ghost Adventures. They were airing a live Halloween special and since it’s my favorite show I didn’t want to miss it.

By the next day our little boy was feeling so much better. He stayed with Gigi just to be safe in case he had a little bug, but he was back to his usually self.

Luckily the weekend before we baked some cookies, had a blast decorating them and eating them. So at least we got into the spirit before the stomach bug hit our little boy.

I hope you had a wonderful Halloween! I’m going to start working on next year’s costume early so we don’t miss out again (hopefully!).
