supervising from the couch: On the Last Day of Halloween

On the Last Day of Halloween

Yes, it's Sunday, and here are my kids trick-or-treating. We went to my parents for dinner, and knew they'd want to see the kids costumes since we never made it down there on Saturday.

We stopped by great-grandma's on the way home. We tried the Backman's too, but no one was home.

I didn't dress up, but I'll go ahead and play fortune-teller right now. I predict a trip next halloween. :)

here's the story:

I was interviewed for a newpaper article about kids and sleep, and quoted as saying something like "when I'm tired, I feel like supervising from the couch." Ever since, it's been our catch phrase for slacker parenting. Ironically, I only had one child at the time and we were practically attached at the hip. Now that I have four older kids, they spend chunks of time playing without even the benefit of me watching from the couch. However, I do try to come running if it sounds like there might be blood. Somehow they have all thrived in spite of me.
