Halloween

Halloween is a lot of work! We are tired, dirty, and ready for bed. Getting 3 kids ready to trick-or-treat is definitely not a treat. It was hard work! But, what a good night. We walked in the neighborhood parade, attended a couple of parties, and walked the streets till 9:00. Carson weighed his candy, and he raked in 3 lbs of it. Maisy robbed our generous neighbors and pulled in 4 pounds. UGH! There will be some sugar crashed kids at school tomorrow...glad I won't be there.

Little Knox was a trooper, but hated his 3 ft hat and protested each time I tried for a picture. He loved the fire truck at the parade! It was funny to watch him take in the costumes. Some really scared him. He loved all the dressed-up dogs though. I think I might have my first animal lover. He adores Aspen and chases her all over the house. Tonight he threw a huge fit to pet some other people's dogs, which was a parenting first. He crashed early after a warm bath. Cuddling that warm, sweet smelling, fleece bundle might have been the highlight of my night. I love bedtime!

Maisy was a wardrobe disaster by the end of the night. She came home with no hat, no wig, no nails, half her green face smudged off, but happy as a clam with all her candy. Carson loved his warm costume, and was super good. Great kids, great night!

Happy Halloween!
