Happy Halloween 2008

Happy Halloween!

What a beautful night! It was probably in the upper 60's with little to no wind when we set out at the early time of 5:30 to trick or treat. I mistakenly thought we left at that time last year (but it was more like 6:30...oops!). I wanted to get out before the kids were getting tired. (Asher is typically ready to start the bedtime routine about 6:45 or so). This year, Alivia was Tinkerbell, Addison was a ladybug, and Asher was a white tiger. Grandma Bet and Grandpa Bill came along. Grandma stayed at the house and passed out candy while Grandpa helped carry Addison to each house after she got tired. We took a different route in our neighborhood and really got a workout. Asher went to a few houses before resting on my shoulder, then in the stroller. He was really good considering he has a bad cold and was really tired. The girls had a good time and collected a fair amount of candy, both saying trick-or-treat and thank-you really well. Back at home, we nearly ran out! Last year we had maybe 25 kids, and this year Grandma was really busy! Note for next year I guess. We got back home shortly after 7. I got Asher to bed just as Chris and Grandpa delivered the annual Mamas's Pizza. The girls were too full of sugar to eat. Alivia fell asleep on the couch even (a preschool party and trick or treating was just too much for her)!

It was a fun Halloween!
