Happy Halloween!

Halloween was so much fun this year. 
Evie so excited to go and could not wait to put on her costume.  Our neighborhood always has a little get-together before trick-or-treating.  The kids have a little costume parade and then one of our neighbors has hot dogs and snacks for everyone.  It’s a good chance to meet new neighbors and catch up and we had fun.
This was Evie’s 3rd Halloween, but it was the first time we’ve ever let her go trick-or-treating.  We only went to a few houses, but Evie was in heaven.  She just could not believe that she could go up to people’s houses and they would give her candy.  She always said “Thank you!” and “Happy Halloween!” too.  We sat outside for a while and gave out candy.  Evie enjoyed this almost as much as getting the candy. She was very generous too, scooping handfuls of candy into the kids’ pails.  Pat and I decided to let her indulge in her candy since it was Halloween and took full advantage.  Later, in a sugar-induced haze, she danced around her room in her nightgown singing “It’s the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!  Come inside!  It’s fun inside!” before passing out in bed around 8.
Having kids can be crazy, but we sure do appreciate fun times like these!
