Trick or Treating...

After this year I have decided that Halloween is the most exhausting day for me...I think it's because too many things are packed into one day. With that being said, the kids and I had a good day.

First, I need to give credit where credit is due...While I am the one that made the costumes, I'm not the one that came up with the idea. Ang did! That's right, this years cute halloween theme is all because of my sister. She sent me a pic about a month or so ago and suggested that the kids would be super cute as a barber shop quartet. At first I brushed it off, I was going to let them pick their costumes this year, but then Goose saw the pic and he liked the idea too. I'm glad I came around to their thinking, because I agree, they looked super cute!...and that is the rest of the story :-)

We actually started off our day at Goose's work, Susie gave the kids enough candy that we could have gone home then and there, but of course we couldn't, the kids were too excited. 

I actually hadn't planned on trick or treating the square this year, but since I had plenty of time to spare, we went ahead and did two sides... 

Carol, from church, was handing out candy from her store. The kids were happy to see her.

 Waiting for more candy...

Ten heard some kids talking about the costume parade and told me she wanted to do it. Almost the minute she mentioned it, Miles insisted that he didn't want people looking at him. Ten put her arm around him and said, "it's ok, if you walk by me, they will look at me not you." It was really very sweet. He immediately relaxed and told her, "ok".
They won 1st place. Ten was super excited. Once Miles realized they won tickets to the cinema, he was pretty excited too. Syd and Madi were just along for the ride.

After the square we headed to our church for Awana game night...

Pouty Face...she didn't want her picture taken...

She was being so still! I don't think she has ever been as still in her life. She must have really wanted that butterfly.

The ball pit...her favorite! It was for 3 and under and she BARELY fit, but clearly, she didn't care...

Football toss...She had fun playing the games, but she was most excited that she knew her verses, when they say their verses they get a cool prize.

I swear he gets this from his Daddy, I'm way too cool for this to come from me :-)...

I think he is working out a strategy...

Funky Bean Bag Toss...I guess...

We have one block that we Trick or Treat. It consists of 3 guys that Goose works with, a lady the Nancy works with, and one of the doctors that helped deliver Madi...Honestly I don't really like the door to door T&T, but since we know the people, I'm ok with it.

Their spoils...

We also made stops at Grandma and Granddad's, Aunt Darlene and Uncle Nelson's, and Grandnanna and Grandpa's.

See what I mean? Halloween is BUSY!
