Our Halloween started with Trunk or Treat at church. This is our second year doing a trunk, and we tied for first place this year! There were really great trunks there this year, and they inspired us to already start thinking about next year.
Then trick or treating on Halloween. The boys were sooooooo excited!
We had Albert Einstein.....
and this fierce ninja roaming around the neighborhood.
Well, not really roaming since Elliott had spent part of the afternoon drawing up this map for the night's journey. The whole excursion was very well thought out!
I always want to get pictures of all the kids, but it seems like everyone is in a rush once they all come out, and I'm usually in chaos-mode trying to get everything together to get everyone out the door, and I typically only get one or two. I was lucky to get these this year. Ethan plays a lot with the girls in the middle. He races them in their little jeep, they play ball, whatever. And they're so cute and sweet! Wish I could've gotten pictures of some of the other kids, too.
Brian walked around with the boys this year. Amber and I handed out candy (well, she actually handed out most of the candy - I mostly sat and talked). He wore this ensemble to work that day - wouldn't you love to see your pharmacist in that?! I think they looked awesome in their costumes! They came home with tons of candy. They had walked all of the courts in our area of the neighborhood and had walked up to one side of the front of the neighborhood. They were pretty tired once they got home!
They each got over 5 lbs of candy! I know this, because we took most of it to our dentist's office to trade it in for money and they weighed it there. They were happy to get $5 for it and that the candy went to the troops. And I am also happy not to have all of that candy calling to me from the pantry :)
