Trick or Treating

Halloween was such a blast this year. First of all, my parents came down and went trick or treating with the kids and I. We also had the neighbors over for some traditional stew dinner before we went out. We left the house about 6pm and didn't return until 7:30pm. My original intent was to just go down the block a little bit but the kids really got into it....especially Kyle. He had told me for about a week before that he didn't want to go trick or treating even after I told him that he would get candy. He was still afraid of the Halloween decorations at night. He was fine with them during the day but night time was a whole new ball of wax. He did great! He was even saying thank you to the people who were giving him candy without any coaching from mom! I was so proud of him!! After awhile though, their bags got pretty heavy with the candy and grammy and I ended up carrying them and handed them off to the kids when they went up to a house. It was a great family night. We came back to the house to have some cupcakes that our neighbor Laurie had made, hung out with family and friends and handed out candy until almost 10pm! I will post some pictures of the night later.
