After having two school parties, a play group party, and the neighborhood fall festival, Handley was excited for the real trick-or-treating day to finally arrive. She kept telling Harper all about the candy they would get and just what they needed to do at each door.
When I picked Handley up from school I noticed her eye looked a little red so we made a stop by the minute clinic to have it checked out. Turns out she has pink eye in both eyes...just in time for Halloween. I'm glad it was just that and very easily treated with some eye drops. With the exception of a little eye irritation, she feels totally fine. We had to cancel our plans of dinner and trick-or-treating with friends, but she took that news better than I expected. (She's actually doing great with remembering not to touch Hudson or Harper, washing her hands anytime she touches her face, etc.) 24 hours on eye drops and she won't be contagious anymore, but I'm actually kind of glad to have a day at home with all 3 kids tomorrow since Handley won't be at school.
That little bump in the road didn't stop us from having fun though. After an early dinner we waited outside for Robby to get home and then we were off to trick-or-treat. At each house the girls would walk back to us in amazement that they just got more candy.
We made it down our street and their bags were full. It was good timing because Hudson was ready for bed. While I was putting him to bed the girls helped pass out candy to the trick-or-treaters at our house and I think they had just as much fun doing that as they did trick-or-treating themselves. Both were exhausted by the time they got in bed tonight and not even all the candy they ate could keep them awake.
