Halloween

Hard to believe it's already been a week since Halloween - the week just flew by! We had a fun day. We went to our friend Steve and Liz Butler's house around 3:30 for a pre-party. We always trick-or-treat on their road with them. This year falling on a Saturday, they had a bunch of people over in the afternoon for food and fun before trick-or-treating. It was a great time! Lily dressed as a "bee fairy/princess", Micah was Spiderman, and Emmalee was a "sun fairy", recycling her costume from last year's dance recital. I figure, if we have to spend $50 on a costume she wears once, for a less than 10 minute recital number, she can wear it again. I'm envisioning many more years as various fairies.... :-)

Early in the evening, we met up with my friend Sandy and her kids Nathan (Mario) and Lindsey (Hermione from Harry Potter) to trick-or-treat on my Aunt Sharon's street. We have been doing this now every year for the last 7 years!

Then it was back to the Butler's to walk their street. They live on a circle, which is nice. We hit every house on the circle and then had more food back at the Butler's house afterward!

It was a fun night, and we have over 10lbs of candy to show for it! Which Steve and I have been diligently eating after the kids go to bed... shhhhhhh
