Happy Halloween!!

I love Halloween. It's almost my favorite holiday (right after Christmas.) I mean, let's be honest - who doesn't like free candy??

Well, this year, it was 75* the week prior to Halloween and 34* on October 31, oh, and don't forget the rain. We decided it would be best to have a Halloween party instead of traditional trick or treat and invite our closest friends, then the kids could trick or treat indoors. Best of all? I didn't have to traipse around in the cold and rain and we still got tons of candy!!

The week before Halloween we went to trunk or treat at my cousin Amanda's church. Luckily we did because the kids felt like they had a real trick or treat then. Jackson was an army guy, Parker was the Incredible Hulk and Delaney was a ladybug. Two of three children wore the same costume for the duration of the Halloween festivities but in normal Parker fashion, he wore a different costume for every event. (We have a dress up box, they were all in there, so no biggie.) For the school's fall family fun night, Parker was Ben (the Thing) from Fantastic Four. And, on actual Halloween night, Parker was Stitch (from Lilo and Stitch.)

The kids decided they liked the Halloween party and want to do it again next year!!
