Trick or Treat this year was something to remember, for sure. It was WET! However, we went anyway. I mean, what's a little rain? The kids surely were not going to allow it to keep them from collecting a horrendous amount of candy. We even got Fallon in on the action, even though we had to bring him back home after after about five houses becuase he got tired. Okay, let's all say it collectively...AWWWWWW! {Yes, he's a bit lazy.) So, we headed out, in the minivan with doors wide open, Daddy driving and Mommy and kids ready to hop out at any given moment. We got half way around the block and caught up with a group of four or five families who were trick or treating togehter. This is when it got to be not so fun. The big kids (and I mean BIG kids) ended up almost trampling Noah at one house to the point where he almost fell down some stairs. Yikes! Come on, people, teach the kids some manners. Anyway, by this time, the kids' buckets were overflowing to the point they were saying, "Mommy, can you carry this? It's too heavy." We were all sopping wet and just ready to go home.
A couple of weeks before Halloween, we continued with our second annual visit to Boo in the Zoo with Makenna's very first friend from K-4, Alanna. Turns out her mommy and I both went to Southside together, although we were a few years apart and didn't really know each other. We all became fast friends and have enjoyed getting together for Boo in the Zoo and then our pizza dinner at Stevi B's. Hopefully, this will continue to be a tradition that we carry on for years to come.
