Halloween

We are sad that our one of our families favorite holiday is over, but we have many more to look forward to.  On Halloween we headed out to our neighborhood trunk or treat and got to mingled with people that live around us.  There were lots of fun costumes..so FUN!  Then we ventured out to the rest of neighborhood and the boys were loving the scary houses with characters roaming around yards and jumping out and scaring people.  There was even a person chasing kids with chain saws.  (I find it interesting that this is one day of year that we will allow our kids to go up to scary houses, and chase around a chain saw man.  That is what makes this holiday so fun.  Everything you teach your kids about strangers and scary people just goes out the door.)  

Ashlynn on the other hand just kept on wanting to go home because of all the scary masks everywhere, but she made it all around the neighborhood with out bolting away and just hung on tight to my hand.  I thought it was funny that she would stay by me until she saw who opened the door to the trick or treaters and then decide if that person was safe to get candy from.  She was not about to except candy from anyone in a mask. 

 

Matt was back at home scaring people with his lightning show on the house and the talking head inside the house.  He has been working on these projects for a few months just for the BIG night.  He was happy to put them in action for the trick or treaters. 

 

We had a awesome night with friends and glad that everyone made it home safely.  Until next year...
