Halloween

It's not Thanksgiving yet, so we can still talk about Halloween right? This year was fun because Mack can walk and Emily 'got it' so she was super excited about everything involved. We trick-or-treated the grandparents in the A.M. and then headed up to This Is The Place Village for the afternoon. There were lots of activities for the kids and it was a fun way to spend the day. Next came the neighborhood party (thanks Deans) which is a required tradition. After filling up on hot dogs and chili we headed out and got down to the business of begging people for candy. We made it around the block and were satisfied so we came home to take our turn of handing out our own candy. Here we have a Maril Pokemon, a Ute Football player who was suppose to be a CareBear but decided he didn't want to wear a costume after-all so this is what Mother put on him, and FunShine Bear.
Isac ditched us to go with his friends so that he could maximize his Trick-or-Treat time. For some reason he thought his siblings would slow him down (I am not sure what gave him that idea). This group of boys had a plan...don't they look ready with their pillowcases? He definitely accomplished his goal and came home with quite the haul.Oh and two things I don't want to forget so I will write them here:
A full grown adult, who was all alone (as in no children) actually rang the door bell, said Trick-or-Treat, and when I urged her to take more than just one little Butter-finger, she actually did. WEIRD!!!

Among the many adventures Isac had while he was out, he told me about a house with the bowl of candy on the porch with a sign that said "Don't be a piggy...only take 1 please." So, according to him, he took one, and continued on, while the rest of his friends proceeded to load up their bags. While doing so some teenagers ambushed them with water balloons, but since Isac only took one, he escaped unharmed. I thought it was a rather sneaky trick, but I am glad he was honest and stayed dry.

So that was our Halloween!!! We were on a sugar high for day and Emily is already asking how long until we do it again.
