Happy (Belated) Halloween!!

Halloween has come and gone. It was a week's worth of celebration and I am exhausted. Last weekend we had some friends over, followed by a playgroup Halloween party, with a birthday party for my dad thrown in, and concluding with trick-or-treating last night. We have the most perfect neighborhood for trick-or-treating here. Our lot is connected to the mecca of all Halloween action in this huge housing plan. My brother used to come over here to trick-or-treat when he was a kid because the candy potential was HUGE. We are talking HUNDREDS of kids and HUNDREDS of houses. And the best part, according to the other people that live off our little hidden street, not a single kid ever comes down to our house looking for treats. So, we get to reap all the benefits and not hand out a single candy bar of our own! That being said, we left our neighborhood last night and went to trick-or-treat in the neighborhood where I grew up since I knew all the people there would enjoy seeing our kids and our kids weren't really in it for the treats this year anyway.



My niece and nephew came along with us as well. They had trick-or-treating in their neighborhood on Thursday but they wanted to spend some time with their cousins. We managed to hit up the whole street (less than 20 houses on the street) and Marcus and Will insisted on carrying their own treats the entire way. The best stop along our way was at the neighbors' who were handing out (adult) beverages to the adults. When we got back to my parents', the kids dug into some Cracker Jacks before calling it a night.

Hope everyone had a great Halloween!
