Yesterday, Nina and I took Percy Jackson trick or treating, he even had a sword! It was a relatively easy costume as Niko already has some Camp Half Blood t-shirts and blue jeans. The only accessory we had to buy was the sword. Niko has been eating up the books as audio and lately, he has been reading them before bed. It’s so cool to see him tucked in and reading.
On Thursday, Niko fell down in gym glass and hurt his ankle. Yeah, the same ankle that gave him issues in San Antonio, as well as last year. Fortunately, we have his walking book and crutches. On Friday, it was really painful for him (even with the crutches), that we didn’t make it to school. He did take some Motrin in the morning, which helped with the pain. Later that afternoon, he had an appointment for something else, and instead of the crutches, he got his walking boot. I was a bit concerned that it would be to painful and he wouldn’t be able to go out on Saturday, but he did, and we all had a grand old time.
Halloween here is different than it was in San Antonio. Here, they don’t camp out in the driveway with the garage door open, we actually have to ring a doorbell. It was nice, that this year it was a Saturday, so we could go out a little bit later and not have to worry about school the next day.
As for me, I wore my Apple Watch and had it track my walk. We did 1.25 miles in about an hour.
As for the candy Niko got, of course, Nina and I had to go through it and separate good vs bad! Majority was good, and he even got the leftover candy we put out on our front porch. I have to advise him to hide his candy from me because I really like candy! The bad, isn’t really bad, it’s more of candy he doesn’t like or candy we don’t want to have (gum), so it defaults to the parents!
The only thing I didn’t like was there were a lot more cars and ATV’s driving around. I kept hearing parents voices telling there kids to watch out for cars.
