Happy Halloween, 19 days late

So I have finally found the cord and downloaded the pictures from Halloween. I know huge sigh of relief. I am hoping to get lots of posting done this upcoming holiday week.(Not enough hours in the day with painting, rearranging furniture, decorating for Christmas, girls both being home.....) Anyway back to Halloween.

Every year our street has a pot luck party before the trick or treating. The past few years it has been a chili/soup pot luck and sides. I brought baked potato soup and there was about 4 other crock pots on the table. Lots of yummy foods and treats before the adventure began. Also lots of children running around in their cute costumes and picture taking.

Then the mommies line the street while the daddies take the kiddos on the foray around the neighborhood. The cul de sac is a little long and has a steep hill so the moms sit towards the top to allow for all the children not to have to hike up the hill again. It also makes the evening pass quickly and lots of fun to be had. Lily stayed behind this year and only trick or treated to the mommies of the street. She had a ball going up and down the line of the street taking candy. She would then redistribute the candy between my bucket and my neighbors and ate a few too.



Grace had a great time with her purple rhinestone princess costume and her two best friends. Then she fell and fun time was over. She got upset that she broke her glow wand and lost some of her candy. She had also been sick the previous week with Strep throat and I think she got tired and was not fully recovered. Needless to say it was time for bed and we all slept well that night.
