Halloween x3


The kids celebrated Halloween three times this year: on Saturday the 27th at Julie's school, on Tuesday the 30th at church, and on Wednesday the 31st in the neighborhood. Although the kids didn't tire of trick-or-treating, I was partied out by Halloween night. Jesse was kind and took the kids around the neighborhood, while I stayed home to pass out candy. I used the candy the kids had collected at the first two parties -- hee, hee hee. One bucket-load of candy is already too much without adding two additional loads!
(Besides, the kids didn't notice.) Yes, yes; I'm a grinch! (You would be too after a month of birthday and Halloween parties.) By the way, Julie wore three different costume. First she was a Barbie ballerina, then she was Sleeping Beauty, then she was Princess Lucianna, a character from a Barbie movie titled The Island Princess. David actually won a prize for his Captain Jack Sparrow costume at the church party. Josh was Batman without the mask. James wore a borrowed spider
outfit but didn't stay in it very long; he was cranky or asleep for each of the trick-or-treating experiences. Jesse and I dressed as a medieval king and queen. We told Julie that we were Sleeping Beauty's parents on the night of the church party.

Wow 3 Halloween parties! I'm with you Deb, one night of candy collections is plenty (sometimes too much). Our ward Trunk-or-Treat was on Halloween and Emma threw up at the first car so my kids didn't do any Trick-or-Treating. Later that week I took them to Nana's in their costumes and she gave them treats (although they were fine without).
