Happy Halloween

I'm glad I got this picture from a Trunk or Treat a couple of weeks ago, because there were no photos last night.  It was snowing and so darn cold!  On top of it, we didn't start trick or treating until many people were done since Jordyn had gymnastics.  I guess it's just the phase we're in right now.  I'm not sure what will happen when basketball and wrestling start in a couple of weeks!  I thought this meme floating around Facebook was fitting...

we legit didn't even carve pumpkins this year.  I was laughing with a coworker because when the kids were in preschool I wrapped little juice boxes with white tape and added googly eyes to make them look like mummies.  This year for the Halloween party I send a jug of Hawaiian Punch and some Great Value cups to school with the kids.  I don't even know who I am anymore!  haha!

Tonight we have no practice, so I'm redeeming myself!  I'm planning to make GHOULash and Mummy Dogs and read our Halloween books.  After that I've promised the kids a movie night, so I think we're going to watch Double Double Toil and Trouble from back in the day.  :)

I hope you all have a fun Halloween Night!

Oh, and this is for after the kids go to bed...

You're welcome! ;)

Halloween 2016 | Trick or Treating

The night before Halloween our community lets the kids Trick-or-Treat the neighborboods.  We trick or treated for about 30 minutes and then went back to the house and let the kids hand out candy.  They preferred handing candy out over actual 'trick or treating' {we had to practically beg Jordyn to go up the the doors and ring the bell}.  Our new neighborhood gets tons of trick or treaters {just like we did growing up!} so I'm super excited for the years to come.  One little boy {probably 8-10ish} gave us the inside scoop when I asked how is bag was completely full, "you gotta hit Rio Drive first thing, they give out TONS of candy!" Thanks buddy, we'll remember that next year! ;)

 

Halloween 2016 | Trunk or Treating

The Thursday before Halloween we went Trunk or Treating at the a local Police Department.  My sister and brother in law handed out candy, so the kids were super excited to go see them.  Plus, it was a crazy warm night {70's!} 

He insisted on wearing his Spiderman sunglasses under his spiderman costume and couldn't see a thing -- haha!
