A Perfect Halloween's Night

"Wow" pretty much sums up our Halloween night!  It could not have been more perfect...no coats, snow pants, mittens or hats.  I put on a light sweater and off we went to trick or treat.  It was so fun to be with the kids and walk the streets of our neighborhood.  We live in an older part of town and a lot of the residents are the elderly.  It brought me so much heartwarming joy to watch our neighbors interact with my children.  It was so awesome! 

The kids came home with way too much candy and they hate my rule that you get to eat as much as you want for one day and then it goes away.  I told them that if they wanted to pay the dentist bill to cover the cost of a filling or two that I would be okay with letting them eat ALL of their sugary things.  They were not too hip on that idea so maybe they will take me up on giving me all their extra candy tomorrow.  The candy won't be wasted though as it will fill the Bishop's candy bowl at the church!  Oh the perks of having your husband as the Bishop!!   How do you handle all the candy your kid's come home with after a fun night of trick or treating?

Here are the pictures of the kid's dressed up.  This is what Blake wore to school.  He made me laugh so hard!  He decided that he does NOT like having long hair!! 

Here is our ballerina Macie,


our scarecrow Erin,


our phantom Cody,


and our Frankenstein Blake.



Okay, now how cool is it that we were able to trick or treat at the Governor's residence


as well as the Temple President's home?


We had a BLAST!
