Halloween

Halloween was a success! We ran from one place to the next and I'm still yawning because of it. I wish we could have Halloween without the candy part though. I guess that wouldn't make much sense but it would make my life easier. Next year I'm doing the switch witch thing. Exchanging candy for money or a toy.

Friday, Elle had a parade at school and a class party. It was fun to be a part of it with her. She was such a cute little ladybug.


But the partying wore her and Owen out and we were just getting started. It was then off to Brian's work to trick or treat. Owen was a super strong Spiderman this year. He played the part well.

It was yet another successful year, parading around his office gathering WAY TOO MUCH candy.

Brian decided to join in the fun this year and actually dress-up. He was a hit. It was hard to fit the two of us down the aisles though. His costume made me feel a whole lot better about myself this year.

We partied hard Friday night. We carved pumpkins and Brian went back to work.

And then, of course, the grand finale was trick or treating Saturday night, chili with friends and hot cocoa and donuts after. The weather was great, the kids survived, I survived and now it's over until next year! Hooray! It was a happy Halloween.
