Another Happy Halloween

I'm totally aware that this is a little past due but oh well! It needs to be documented!

Halloween was super fun this year! Other then Jackson's football team losing the championship game the day was perfect! We were a little nervous about the weather since it had been miserably windy and wet and cold all week but it turned out to be beautiful on Halloween!

We started our festivities by attending the annual neighborhood party at the park! Its really fun to go and see all the kids and some of the parents dressed up and ready for the night, not to mention yummy food and wonderful neighbors!

After hanging out at the park for about an hour and a half we headed home to put on some more layers, light our jack-o-lanterns and head out for trick or treating. I wanted to go this year so we left a big bowl of candy out on our porch with a sign that said "Please take Two!" Incidentally when I came home an hour later there was still candy left in the bowl! Talk about honest people hey? Anyways, TJ the kids and I headed down to our friends, the Kings, and we all went trick-or-treating together! After about 5 minutes we all (all, as in the adults) got too cold so TJ ran home to pick up the van. Then we all (all, as in 4 adults and 7 kids) piled into the van to drive around! I'm perfectly aware of the fact that it was super wimpy of us to drive but whateve! It was so fun!

All the kids were having a blast but Reece, in particular, was hilarious! I made her say trick or treat at every door and she would giggle and say thank you after candy was put in her pumpkin. She couldn't believe that people were just giving her candy and she loved every minute of it!

Poor Brady had a slight mishap when he was surprised by a dog and in his panic to get away from the "scary" dog named Sophie, who probably weighs about 10 lbs, he fell and bumped his head! Poor little guy is TERRIFIED of animals but seriously...Sophie? Who is scared of a tiny dog named Sophie?????

After the dog incident TJ drove me and the little kids home. I put them in the bath and had fun the rest of the evening handing out Candy.

A shout out to the Kings for letting us tag a long with them and then for treating Jackson to Sonic after trick or treating! We had fun with you guys!
