While I was vacuuming this afternoon, I came up with an idea for a better Halloween.  I thought that perhaps we’d get pizza from Papa Murphy’s, make sugar cookies and other junk food, hang out together, then let the kids stay up late and watch a movie together.  I ran it by Matt, who was planning on surprising us all and going to the Halloween thing at church together (and believe me, he wanted to be there less than I did!) and he thought it was a great idea.  I ran it past the kids and they thought it sounded great.  

We ended up making sugar cookies in the shapes of pumpkins, cats, dogs, moons, hearts, and Christmas trees (that’s what happens when the 2 year old gets to choose too) and fudge.  We had pizza and now we’re watching a movie together.  It has been a great evening, especially since we all haven’t seen that much of Matt because of his super busy work schedule.  I’m thinking this should become a new family tradition!
