Halloween

I am playing catch up today! The kids are off for parent-teacher conferences today and I have had a few extra kids to watch, but nowhere to go, so I figured it was about time! Halloween is my least favorite holiday ever, but this year ended up being more fun than in the past. Maybe it was because it was on a Friday and I didn't feel like we had to hurry home and put kids to bed! We started out at the church at the trunk or treat. It had been pouring rain the day before and off and on that day, so the turn out was not great. The kids didn't manage to fill up their buckets, but still had a good time. They still had plenty of candy for themselves, just not enough that they didn't notice mom was sharing! After trunk or treat we went to my sister in laws church for their fall carnival--that was fun, but interesting. We then headed to Sue and Vince Dunlap's to finish off our trick or treating.

Cole spent his first Halloween away from us and went to Chico with a friend and his family. It was strange not to have him with us, but he had a good time. I have to get used to his being old enough to go with friends once in awhile.
