Trick or Treat

This was the first year that we have officially taken the kids trick or treating. We have gotten away with it because of all of the other activities that we go to and because Mya and Keegan didn't know what they were missing out on. Now that Mya is in Kindergarten I have a teacher to thank for informing her just what she was missing out on. She kept asking when we were going trick or treating today. Some friends invited us a hay ride around the neighborhood and had a good time even though it was a little nippy outside. THANKS MATT AND APRIL! There were a couple of times where Keegan and Mya were scared of the haunted houses or the adults that had dressed up in scarier costumes (I hope that we didn't traumatize them, I guess we'll see if they have nightmares tonight).



Yesterday was Mya's Halloween party. They decorated pumpkin sugar cookies, played pass the pumpkin, and made halloween necklaces. It was kind of disappointing that the Crosby kindergarten outlawed witches and devils as costumes because "they are too scary." However, Mya was excited that she got to ware her costume all day long and she came home and told Gerald that she got 100 candy to bring home.

I am so thankful to have all the festivities over with! I am Halloween'd out!

So you said "nippy", how cold is that? I bet we beat you on that one. The kids were trick-or-treating at -20. Bet you were not that cold! Needless to say we didn't stay out for very long. LOL! Glad you had a great Halloween, tell the kids and Gerald hi from us. Phillip heads out the 16 of Nov. I told him he had to visit for the holidays. I will have to give you his cell number so that you can get together. Talk to you later sis!

Sounds like you had a more eventful Halloween than we did. We got rained on, but it was a very nice change from snow and freezing temps. Miss you guys!
