First Trick or Treat

Halloween was a busy day for us. We started with taking some photos of the kiddos in their Halloween shirts. Boo's bow is one that I made for her and she actually ended up losing it in Target a few hours later. Thankfully I made two of them and I also was able to find more material at the fabric store. I think I'm more upset about it because no one said anything or turned it in to Customer Service. I'm always disappointed by the lack of morality in some people. Anyway, we enjoyed our Halloween despite its setbacks.






It was hard to get the kids to sit still for pictures, but I finally bribed Bubbie with a piece of chocolate to get him to cooperate. Sometimes its just about what works, right? It sure made him smile!

Later that evening we handed out some candy to Trick or Treaters and then we set off to do some Trick or Treating ourselves. This was Boo's first Trick or Treat and Bubbie's second!! I think they really enjoyed their trick or treat, Bubbie was really good about saying "trick or treat" and "thank you." I think because he said thank you he ended up getting more candy than Boo. Though everyone loved his costume too and they said Boo was adorable!

We actually enjoyed trick or treating in our neighborhood. We were able to talk to our neighbors and meet some that we haven't met before. We also were able to meet our new neighbor that moved in just down the street and they have a girl that is just a little older than Boo. Just some of the positives of trick or treating close to home, plus we saved the gas by footing it all night. I definitely felt that I had my exercise by the end!

The kids going down the driveway, they were ready and rearing to go!!


This house had a nice sign that said "Please take one." We thought that there would be nothing left, but surprisingly people were being very nice about the candy.


About halfway through our trick or treat, Boo was tired of walking. Maybe she needed some more sugar!


After we returned from our trick or treat, Uncle Jeff was waiting at the house and we had him take our family photo.

(This site is turning my photos, I had it going horizontal, but now its vertical. Any ideas why its doing that?) This is the special cake we made for Halloween and when we returned from trick or treat, we treated ourselves to some. Afterwards, the kids setteled down to bed without argument(which never happens) and we played a game of scrabble with Uncle Jeff. It was a fun day had by all!
