Happy Halloween!!!


Halloween has come and gone, but it isn't really gone is it? You still have stashes of candy the the kids can't seem to forget about for more than 5 minutes. And how long will it take me to get around to taking my Halloween decorations down? I loved Halloween night though, Alex had so much fun at the trunk or treat and it gave us a chance to see all of our friend's kids dressed up all cute. We ere planning on calling it quits after that but she really wanted to knock on a few doors. It wasn't as cold as has been in the past so I agreed to take her around the neighborhood a little and she ran from house to house with an enthusiastic "Trick or Treat" and automatic "Thank You" for everyone who answered their door. We didn't arrange to go around with any friends but she didn't seem to mind. We paired up with our neighbor girl for a little while but they turned around and started back home a lot sooner than Alex was ready for. She didn't seem to mind being on her own as long as her goal for a heavy trick or treat bag was fulfilled. She was a fairy on a mission. And Johnny seemed quite content to stay at home and help pass candy out to all the witches and goblins who knocked on our door. When I got home and saw him in action it was really quite cute. He had it down. As soon as I opened the door he had the basket of candy in one hand and a handful of candy bars in the other ready to drop in the first trick or treat bag. It was a fun night for the kids and now I just have to figure out a way to slowing make the piles of candy diminish without eating it all myself. Hope you all had a "Happy Halloween!"
