Halloween!

The kids had quite the Halloween this year! First, we went to Boo at the Zoo on Monday and trick or treated at the zoo. There were lots of people there and we got to ride a bus! Lilly really enjoyed the bus! The kids were dressed as Superman and Supergirl. It was really planned, that is just what they chose to be! Thursday night we went to Trick or Treat at the Children's Museum. This was nice because it was inside, but there weren't really as many people giving out candy. Lilly was mad most of the time too because she wanted to play, not trick or treat. Finally we were able to let them play on the lower level of the museum. When we left that night, it was pouring down rain!!!

On Halloween day, Lilly wanted to wear her costume all day. One of the most important things I have learned as a parent is to pick your battles, this was not one I wanted to pick. So Lilly wore her costume to Misty's restaurant to celebrate Bernie's surprise 80th birthday, then to church, then trick or treating.

This year we went trick or treating around our neighborhood. It was such a beautiful night for it! We set off around 6:00 and got home around 8:00. I could not believe all the candy the kids got! It was amazing! We only had a few trick or treaters after we got home, so we had a lot of our candy left too. All in all, I think the kids had a great time and they looked super cute!
