Happy Halloween!

We had a great Halloween this year. Spence worked with the kids to get a good "Trick or Treat" all month, Davis and Blair read lots of Halloween books thanks to Grandma Davis, and I got some costumes put together. It all paid off last night.

The kids absolutely loved Halloween. We took them Trick or Treating at a few houses and then hung out at home answering the door for the other kids. While we were out, Davis was happy to go to the door and say "Trick or Treat", but Blair got a little nervous and wouldn't say it to anyone. When we were home and the doorbell would ring, Davis would jump up and down and say "Trick or Treat, Trick or Treat, Trick or Treat" and grab our bowl of candy to give to the other kids. He would then tell everyone that he and Blair were Mickey and Minnie and say bye a million times as they left. Both kids enjoyed eating way too much candy and were a sticky gooey mess all night. We put down a blanket in the front room because they drooled candy down the front of themselves and onto the floor all night.

Grandma and Grandpa Davis came over to see the kids for a little while and we had a great visit. When it was time for bed, both kids were so wired that they stayed awake in their beds for an hour after we put them down. At bedtime, Spence and I went next door and hung out with some of our neighbors and had a ton of fun. What a great night!

This morning, the kids had forgotton all about the candy, but Blair hadn't forgotton about her Minnie shoes. She was so sure that she was going to wear the red light up high heels to church. I'm pretty sure they'll be her favorite dress up for a while...
