The pains and gains of trick or treatin’

Many years ago, I never really cared about Halloween. I just started to pay attention to this event when my eldest child was born, seven years ago. For the last six years, we have been regularly attending our company’s annual Halloween party with our two boys.

However, this year, for a change, the mister & I decided to bring the kids to The Crazy Halloween Carnival at the Robinson’s Metro East in Pasig and well, for convenience, too. You know, it was not just the boys this time because we have been blessed with an adorable doll last year. We thought a mall near where we live was a good idea especially if we got 3 kids in tow.

Last Sunday, the 27th of October, the five of us arrived at the mall at around past 10:00 am. I thought the registration would not take too long but we spent almost 45 minutes to register. Oh well, I think it’s ok, we had to teach the kids about PATIENCE-no pain, no gain.

We spent almost half of the day at the mall, visiting the different booths at the activity area and later on just passing time, actually waiting for the actual treat or treatin’ to start. I was goin crazy, my legs and heels are aching due to long hours of standing (walang kinalaman ang edad dyan ha,hehehe). I was begging the kids if we can leave bec. my feet and legs were really hurting but as expected, they wouldn’t want to.

Finally, what we were waitin for started but not really sure if it was past 4:00 pm or 5:00 pm . I lost track of the time because I was really feeling bad. Thank goodness, the mister volunteered to go with the kids as they went from one store to another.

When my band of trick or treaters came back, here’s what they got:

Thanks a lot Robinsons Malls – Metro East! We had so much fun! We hope to be back next year (wink! wink!)

Who said my feet and legs ached? You gotta be kidding me! 🙂
