Happy Halloween



We had a wonderful action-packed Halloween day. We hosted a Halloween party at our house for a bunch of Evan's friends (and some people we didn't really know). It was a tad bit chaotic, but I think that everyone had a great time. The kids looked adorable all dressed up. We hired a photographer to take pics, so I didn't take any during the party. It was pretty nice just hosting and spending time with our guests. Joe was there too, which was really nice. Later that day, we went to a party at a friend's neighborhood. They had a DJ, costume contest, food & drinks. It was really nice. The kids enjoyed running all over the grass. Finally, Evan & I went trick or treating in our neighborhood, while Joe passed out the candy. We were only going to go to about 5 houses (b/c we do NOT need the candy), but we met up with our next door neighbors and ended up going to quite a few homes with them. Their son, who is 10, was quite a good sport taking Evan along with him to each house. Evan, who normally likes to exclaim things, was very quiet when he said "trick or treat", but that was the only thing he was subdued about in the whole process. He loved, loved, loved getting the candy. He didn't want it to go into his bag, he preferred to carry each piece to the next house, then deposit the old stuff in his bag and carry the new stuff. His favorite candy was the lollipops, and he's eaten quite a few. Evan made out and we now have more candy that we could eat in a year. We really had such a great day!
