Halloween has come and gone another year. I always enjoy looking at all the different costumes and all the neat homemade costumes. I always thought I would dress up as a mom....guess not. We saw the cutest Wizard of Oz family...it made me think i missed some fun times with my kids. We did the annual Trunk or Treat tonight and the kids got more than enough candy there. It is nice though because then they don't want to go door to door for too long (usually it is freezing cold). This year the weather was perfect and the kids had a good time. CJ is getting too cool for our family so she spent most of the night with her friends--eating pizza, haunted house, and just chatting. This is the first year I let Brenden go Trick-or-treating by himself. Lame I know. We would go all over town for hours by ourselves and it wasn't a big deal. But...guess times change. He went with four other boys and they were told the rules and off they went. They had a great time! Brenden had the cutest costume this year. He told me a few weeks ago he wanted to be Elvis and I didn't know what we would do but we found the perfect costume. He looked awesome. Carter just pulled something out of the dress up box and was content. Adessa liked her costume but the black spray paint and hair pins itched her head so she wanted to go home and shower soon. All in all we had a great Halloween. We have new 'older' neighbors and I wasn't sure if they were expected any trick or treaters but when we got home their lights were all on and they had decorations on so I sent the kids over. They were so excited to see the kids. They told them they were their first trick or treaters and asked if they could do tricks and seemed really happy! I was so glad we went over. I then proceeded to text a few other neighbors so they could go hit the house. When Carter was leaving he excitedly said "The old man said we were his first!" and continued to say something about the 'old lady'. I hurriedly shushed them and told them their real names! Happy Halloween until next year!!
