The kids really enjoyed their evening. Emma dressed up as Bat Girl for a second year in a row, and Elliott made a very cute Captain America (or Napkin America as he says it).
Grandma Barb and Grandpa Jim came to our house for supper, and then helped hand out candy while John and I took the kids Trick or Treating. It was pretty chilly this year, the temp was around 36 degrees, but it felt more like 26 with the wind chill. So, we bundled the kids up and went around the neighborhood.
The kids had so much fun trick or treating. The basically ran from house to house, grabbed candy out of the bowls, and then had to be reminded at every house to say "thank you". They were adorable though, and we have way too much candy at our house now!
We ended the evening by letting the kids stay up too late, and eat too much candy. They are finally asleep now, but it was definitely a battle. And the Dodgers are leading the Astros in game 6 of the World Series right now, so it's been a pretty good Halloween.
This past weekend, my mom came to town to watch the kids on Friday, since Emma had no school and I had to work (John was at a work retreat). I think they all had a really good time hanging out together. Since my mom was here, we decided to do some Halloween themed activities over the weekend.
On Friday evening, we went to a Lutheran Elementary School to Trunk or Treat inside the gym. The kids had a really good time, and it was nice to do an indoor activity since it was pretty cold outside.
On Saturday, we went out to Jim and Barb's house so Mom could see their new house, and then we stayed and helped them move some furniture while we were there. After that, we had a nice lunch in Sioux Falls, and then did some trick or treating at Scheel's, as well as rode the Ferris Wheel and let them play in the play area. They were pretty tuckered out after all of that. My mom also was wore out, and left that afternoon to go back home.
That evening, Emma and I headed to Good News Church and we did some more Trunk or Treating. Emma and I had a great time. She got a bunch of candy trunk or treating, there were games to play, and we ate supper at their Soup and Pie supper that was going on. And we bid on and won a Silent Auction item. It was a really fun Emma and Mommy evening.
We had a great Halloween here. The kids had a really good time, and I am kinda a sucker for Halloween as well. We had a lot of fun handing out candy to all the cute trick or treaters as well.
Happy Halloween!
