It really was fun to have Bonnie spend Halloween with us. Nathan had no interest going trick-or-treating, he wanted to stay with Evan and pass out candy. So Bonnie and Danielle went around with Nathan's Halloween bucket and collected candy for him. And then Nathan fell asleep on the way home. Bonnie sort of laid claim to Nathan's Halloween bucket. Bonnie is really wonderful, but when you wave chocolate in her face and maybe a Butterfinger, she reverts back to her childhood years when you had to fight to keep your candy. You had to be sneeky or smart. At least she was mature about it and didn't just tackle my kids and take their candy. She dipped into Nathan's candy bucket and bartered his candy for better candy. He was asleep so he couldn't protest. I think after a while she realized how funny the situation was and only ate a few pieces. I was fine with her taking the whole bucket home, but I think she felt silly. Hopefully she was able to get her candy fill and enjoyed the evening. We sure had fun having her here and the kids just can't get enough of her.
I love having her live close. And I love that my kids are having so much fun with Bonnie and Jarom here. I just hope we aren't too overwhelming for them. Six kids all at once even overwhelms me! I should probably keep the chocolate in the house to bribe her to keep coming over!
