Halloween

Well, yesterday was Halloween! A was Transformers Bumblebee, L was Scooby-Doo, J was a Bumble Bee (even had wings!). I got the kids dressed and ready by 5:30. Trick or Treat'n was suppose to be 5:30pm-9pm..However since it was daylight not many people were out or giving candy. We waited until 6pm and then started to walk around our street. Not many houses gave out candy here. Some had lights on and noone was home. Other places we would get to the door and were told sorry we are out of candy! I guess that was their "trick". I would have just turned my light off. :(

So after we went in our housing area, about 3 streets worth, we went home and got in the car and drove a few blocks down the street to the other one. Many more houses lit up with decorations and giving out candy. The kids had fun looking at all the decorations and getting candy. We even got to go into a haunted house someone had made in their carport! A witch sat on her decorated porch waiting for you to make it to her to give you candy, a gorilla with a chainsaw greeted us, two zombie/ghouls happily told us "Happy Halloween", while they scared others. :) We finally made it back to the car at 8pm still an hour left to trick or treat but no houses left. LOL So, home we went and we looked over all the candy to make sure it was ok and the kids had some before bedtime.



A tried counting all his candy starting piece by piece. I showed him how to count by 10's to make it easier and quicker for him. Eventually he gave up counting them all up when he came across candy he wanted to eat. :) LOL That was our night of fun, missing daddy and gaga who usually trick or treat with us. ~~~ :)
