Never send a Dad to do a Mom's job

This would have been my 14th year of trick or treating. Would have been. Except the dads decided that they would take the kids on their Halloween trek and we moms could stay behind and pass out candy and drink and gab and drink. I was a bit torn. Kathryn had really been looking forward to this and unlike last year, I knew she was going to last for more than 6 houses.

But I put my trust in my husband to ensure she had a good time and to capture the memories. I gave him a camera and sent them on their way. And look how much fun she had:

Hmmm. That looks like the picture of Miss Tortilla Face that she begged me to take at the restaurant the night before. And while it is kinda scary, it's not Halloween. Which would mean that there are no shots of my girls trick or treating.

For the first time in 14 years.

Funny, I'm thinking that he didn't forget to use the jug of rum he took along for the trip. But not one stinking picture of my girls. And I heard there was some fun. Some spooky houses, an inflatable Halloween obstacle course. But not one picture of any of it. And that's probably exactly how he planned it.

Which means I am definitely going next year. And don't think he got away with it. He's going too!

I did manage to snap a few pics before they set off. Hope everyone had a safe and Happy Halloween!
