Candy, Candy, & more Candy!

We had a fun Halloween week which included lots of CANDY. Morgan had to do a project for Math dealing with geometrical shapes. She decided instead of drawing a picture that included triangles and quadrilaterals she would make a Haunted House! It turned out great and all the kids loved helping her make the house and eat the left over CANDY!

Maddie had a party at her preschool on Thursday. She came home with a bag full of treats. Her and Brinley sat on the kitchen floor to divide up her CANDY and then eat it!

Brinley had ballet on Friday afternoon. She wore her costume and then had a little party. There were cupcakes, cookies and CANDY!

Her costume was the only one that I purchased this year. She was dying to be Strawberry Shortcake! All the other kids wore costumes from either my dress up box or grandmas!

That evening we went to trick-or-treat on Grandmas street. The kids always want to go to her neighborhood because there is a house that gives out big CANDY bars!

We met up with some of the cousins at Grandmas house. Morgan went with Paige and Mckenna to go trick-or-treating, watch a scary movie, and then sleep over. We took the rest of our kids to our neighborhood to finish trick-or-treating. Jon took Maddie and Brinley around for about an hour and a half. He said that people kept on giving Maddie twice as much CANDY because she was a cute little bunny!(She kept on changing her mind on what she wanted to be this year a Frog, Kitty, Bunny or Pumpkin. Luckily I had three out of the four of those costumes. She decided to be a Bunny on Halloween so she would stay warm)

She did end up getting about twice the amount of CANDY as did Morgan! She couldn't get enough of it in her hands when she got home, I just couldn't resist this picture!

For the first time EVER I stayed home to hand out the CANDY. We usually have some type of conflict and are not at home. So in past years we have just turned the lights off and give out nothing. It was really fun to have people come by and to see so many familiar faces. Jon and I finished off our evening by going to Union High School's football game. We had a fun time cheering on the Titians. They won their final game and are on the way to the State Championships with their 9-0 record. It was a fun day overall! The only thing we didn't accomplish was carving our pumpkins. So Brinley said today, "Mom can we still carve our pumpkins?" I told her I'm afraid that won't happen this year!
