Happy Halloween!

We had a Happy Halloween here and hope everyone else did too!

Yesterday, I took the kids trick or treating at the library. They got to hear some stories and sing songs before making a funny trick or treating pattern around the library to collect candy. They both enjoyed the day. Emma loved walking through all the people and hitting them with her wings! And Ryan really paid attention to the stories. They were both excited to get to do it again today. Yesterday, they both got about 5 pieces of candy - and thought that was great! Little did they know.....

Today, we got all dressed up after dinner. Daddy really enjoyed dressing up like the Man with the Yellow Hat. It even involved a trip to Goodwill. I think he looks pretty good. He (and Ryan) asked why I wasn't dressing up - but it's hard to find something with a big belly!

Our subdivision was very quiet this evening. We might have seen 5 other people trick or treating. Ryan kept asking if we were getting 'more candy?' Of course, we could have stopped after 2 or 3 houses with as much as we got. Emma did well for most of the time, her bucket got a little full and she started to spill it with every walk after a while. We did finish our whole sub though - and made it home before 8!

Since we got home, we've divided up the candy into what we'll eat and what we won't eat. There is a local dentist that buys back candy for a $1 a pound and sends it to the troops. We ended up keeping about half of it - and I'm sure most of it will end up in my belly! The baby will be such a sugar junkie!
