more candy followed by pizza and soda for lunch provided by the boss. Sweet. Saturday morning was spent with Sann Dee at yet another Halloween bash...games galore, a cookie decorating station, and a magician! I was surprised that the kids were still excited about trick or treating Saturday night, but they were and they needed all the enthusiasm they could muster to face THE RAIN!
I must say that I've been spoiled by the Halloween weather we've enjoyed the last four years or so...fairly mild and DRY! What a bummer it was to watch the seven day forcast and see that rain cloud smack dab on Saturday. We bundled up as best we could against the elements and spent an hour outside trick or treating our immediate neighborhood. (I wasn't willing to venture far in case someone needed the potty (i.e. Grant) or in case someone got too cold and/or tired.) Even only walking the length of our street, the kids got plenty of treats. Add that to their two-day haul and their bags were full to the brim...even after my late night purge when I got rid of all the really weird looking stuff! It's going to be a long, long while before they make their way through it all - especially since I'm the candy Nazi and will only let them have a little bit each day. Oh well, their teeth will thank me!

I took down my Halloween decorations today, and it was kind of sad. I'm getting to like Halloween more and more each year--I guess you've converted me! It all started with your Halloween parties you used to invite us to at the apartments...good times.
Your kids look so cute! Grant makes the best pirate I've ever seen.
Even though it rained I am happy that they got a lot of candy.
