Our neighborhood is sort of lame for trick or treating so we put a bowl of candy on the porch and headed out at 6:30 (otherwise known as bedtime!) to go to the fall festival at church. I was expecting a trunk or treat with lots of candy fast. Grace and Greta were a little sick and I was hoping to go there and back and get tons of candy without making them walk around too much. We get there and ended up having to walk forever to get to the festivities, and then we realize there are no trunks. Instead, they had little games for the kids and you had to wait in line and play the game to get a piece of candy! With 3 kids waiting and playing each game it took forever and we ended up with just a few pieces of blah candy. We got some cotton candy on the way back to the car but the girls decide they hate it, so I ate it, of course. We get home at 7:45 (past bedtime) and Jon took the kids to a couple of neighborhood houses before calling it a night. Of course, our bowl of candy was empty. Luckily for me, I had picked out all the good stuff ahead of time! We finally got the kids to bed around 9 which is so late for us! Now Greta has no voice from being outside. Hopefully she'll feel ok tomorrow.
Here's some costume pictures. Don't ask where our pumpkin pictures are- we completely forgot to get one, but we did make a fun spooky cookie house!

Great blog, Melanie! I've been thinking about starting one, too. Sounds like your Halloween was about as great as ours was. I love your cookie house! We didn't do a pumpkin this year, either.
Yes, hopefully this will help. The kids look gorgeous. Lana was a fairy princess. I need to get the photo's off the camera and uploaded. Sorry you didn't have a beautimus time for your Halloween. Lana does the T. or T. in Virgie every year. This year she got to add in the classroom party. And she got to hand out candy here at the house. She only had one T. or T'er though. oxoxo's
Becca, I can't wait to see pictures of Lana! Did JM get to dress up too?
Xander looks pretty scary in that outfit. Something about a big semi truck staring back you kind of weirds me out. The girls look pretty though....however that's not that difficult when you're working with the genes that we possess...right?
