So we survived another Halloween. For this family Halloween was a 2 day event. The picture that has Spiderman (Zach) in it was the communtiy halloween party Tues. night. That was fun. Tuesday night Zach got a high fever and wasn't feeling well. The next day all the kids (minus Dani) dressed up for school and parties in their respective classes. That day Zach was Woody (from Toy Story) he got to wear this, (it was supposed to be for Chirstmas) because he took his medicine. About 2 hours in his teacher called me to come get him. He was SICK!!! So then Halloween night the kids went out trick-or-treating and again Zach lasted about 1 hour. If you look at the picture of all the kids (including Woody) Zach doesn't look good. Dani was a pretty Witch, Jordynn was Belle (Beauty and the Beast) and Michaela was a Vampire. She announced that she didn't want to be anything cute. She wanted to be something scary. I was NOT happy about this but as you see she won. All in all they had a great time. The kids made sure to hit the house that gives out money. Every year this house gives each kid a BAG of candy and that includes a dollar. I talked to the dad at that house and last year they gave out $148. He was hoping to surpass that this year. In this small town I guess $148 isn't that bad. But I'm not about to start giving out $$$$$!!!!!
As a mom I've figured out why my parents always wanted to "check" the candy for needles and opened wrappers. At least that's what they said. I'm betting they just wanted to check out what we got so they could steal it when we went to bed. At least that's what Ben and I did!!!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!
