Halloween should always fall on a weekend. It just seems unfair to the holiday when it doesn't. This year, we took full advantage and celebrated 3 days of Halloween. They got more use out of their costumes this year than they did out of some of their baby clothes.
Friday night we went to the Fall Festival in Brock. They had food, games, prizes, bounce houses and all kinds of other fundraisers. The kids are way into bounce houses right now so that's pretty much what they wanted to do all night.
Saturday night, we went to Trunk-or-Treat at our church. Everyone decorated their "trunks" and really got into it this year. One family even brought a pony and some other animals and had a petting zoo. What people will do to win a gift card.
This crazy clown was giving away beanie babies instead of candy. Jackpot.
It didn't take long for them to really get into this whole I say "trick-or-treat" and you give me candy thing. It was a mad house, but we managed to play some games after trunk-or-treating.
They had so much fun and of course Mom and Dad were totally pooped after chasing them around all night. It was a good kind of pooped though. Totally worth it to see them having so much fun.
Sunday night we had dinner with Andrea and her family, followed by some good ol' fashioned trick-or-treating. It's hard to believe that 15 years ago, we were running around together collecting candy in our pillowcases. And now we're taking our kids...
Can you say Arranged Marriage? Reese says Campbell is her boyfriend. Chris was really excited to see his daughter kissing a boy at such a young age.
How cute are they? They held hands for much of the night. I know what you're thinking, but Andrea and I had nothing to do with this.
Nolan and Campbell were so cute... a scuba diver and a fish. So creative. Campbell did a great "Fish Face."
I really didn't know how the kids would do. Reese especially... you know how shy she can be. As soon as they saw the candy, they were good to go. They even went through a "haunted house"... who'd have thought?
It was a fun-filled weekend and for once, none of the activities fell into the "forced family fun" category.
