Halloween always seems to be a stressful night for me. I am not sure why. Maybe because it is on a random night, the kids stay up late, eat a ton of candy and run around the neighborhood in the dark. It just seems to be a press for some reason. This year Halloween was on a Saturday which helped some, but it still was a bit stressful. I just drove into town from the International Dyslexia Conference (IDA) in Dallas but Matt was such a champ while I was gone and kept the house clean and the kids well-fed while I was away. :-)
Alivia decided to wear her peacock costume again this year. It really is a cool costume and probably fit her better this year than last year. Will was going to be Luke Skywalker but then at the last minute decided to wear his Ninja costume from last year as well. I have to admit, the Chasing Fireflies (although VERY expensive) were definitely worth their money since my kids have worn them two years in a row. John was the cutest Army man around. And Matthew was a dinosaur. I know this is the last year he is going to let me dress him so I was relishing it!
We started the night off at Peyton and Emily's with Chick-Fil-A and some grilled dove with bacon. Then we headed out for trick or treating. The kids just love it so much. And one of my favorite parts is to have them come home and dump their candy out and trade and mix and match. It is fun to watch. The weather was beautiful, too which was an added bonus.
