So today I was out making deliveries in the cold 32 degree weather and it made me have a wonderful memory.
when my children were little on Halloween I would have them all help me decorate the house for Halloween like I would have it Any other way really. But ex was very strict and the decorations went up on the day of and had to come down the next day.
So as all of you know begin pregnant is not easy with four other little humans.
We spent all day decorating “I got things done while they took naps” but that meant I didn’t get a nap. When they woke up I had them watch the Charlie Brown Halloween.
the thought of taking them out trick or treating made me want to collapse I was seven months pregnant and my feet hurt I didn’t get a nap I had moved the washer and dryer earlier while they napped for the repair man. And to tell you I had enough, well that would be an understatement . I sat down and watched with the kids.
my imagination took over me. I collected the kids packed them in the car and off to the store we went. I bought like ten to twenty pumpkins I had the kids help me load them in the wheelbarrow and I pushed it to the back yard. Which again didn’t help my back any for the day.
there I Assembled the pumpkins around the family tent I had put up then blew up the air mattress and put all their sleeping bags inside. I put mine in there too.
of course they asked what we were doing. And I simply told them building a pumpkin patch and that this year instead of going trick or treating we were going to wait for the great pumpkin.
well as you all know sitting still usually will make a child fall a sleep mine were no different.
When my ex got home he asked where the kids were and when we were going out. Because he worked all day he was hungry and as he did every year he would sit by the front door hand out candy and drink beer to his part. I smile and told him pizza in the oven beer in the frig. and that I had to go to the store.
Once again where are the kids I smile and pointed to the two oldest sitting still awake but the two youngest fast asleep. He asked what we were doing I told him we were waiting for the great pumpkin and see if Linus was right about the great pumpkin and if she brought toys and candy for all of the good boys and girls.
I told him not to worry his beer was cold and that was all that matter. I had two hours and had to hurry I wanted to rest I can’t tell you how tired I was.
off to the store I went I got four small medium pumpkins got each a toy and candy. I gutted each pumpkin and stuffed each one with a toy and candy.
Then when the last two fell asleep at 7pm I put out each pumpkin among our pumpkin patch. Then sprinkled candy all around the pumpkins. By 7:15 I was in bed in the tent with them fast asleep.I left my ex husband at the front door to hand out candy and drink beer by himself. He was ok the neighbors all told him how amazing he did the the decorations for the house. 🙄.
I felt so guilty that night for not taking them trick or treating. bit I was soooo tired. I laid down amd I was out like a light.
But the next day when they found their stuffed pumpkins they were soooo happy. They have all remembered that Halloween and my son asked me today if I could have the great pumpkin come to his house tonight his wife was tired and he had to work. 🤣. So yup I made another pumpkin basket.
just so you all know one day I’d like to have sex in a pumpkin patch. 😂
