Halloween was on a Friday this
year, which is a day that I normally work, but fortunately I had off this
year!! I made orange pancakes with
chocolate chips and sprinkles. We went
to Lee's Market Place at 1pm to trick-or-treat.
The neighbor Ashley Beddes and her two kids came with us. All of the employees were dressed up and they
had trick-or-treat stations in each department.
They gave out some sweet stuff: apple, string cheese, gold fish,
cookies, chocolate milk, popcorn, and few pieces of candy. They also had a spook aisle in the back of
the store. We only made it in a few
steps before Baylee freaked out so we turned around and came out. Once we had made it thru the store we went
out on the grass and let the kids at some of their treats and play in the
leaves. It was so nice outside, a little
breezy, but warm enough that I had to take Austin’s monkey costume off. (I was not feeling very well because I had
not eaten so I was a little shaky.)
After that it was nap time for the kiddos and time for mommy to get to
work in the kitchen. Ryan invited his
family over for dinner and trick-or-treating; (which I find a little bit odd
because Halloween doesn’t seem like a family holiday to me but maybe that is
just because I didn’t grow up around family.) Everybody showed up around 5 for
dinner and we were off trick-or-treating by 6:30. (Jen and Paul didn’t come.) After four houses
Baylee was done! I made her go to a few
more houses and then she and I came home to hand out candy. It was so nice outside we sat on the front
steps and handed out candy. She had way
more fun handing out candy than she did trick-or-treating. Everybody else made it around the block and
when they got back they took off. We
stayed out for another good hour after everyone was gone. We put the kids to bed around 9 and then
started on clean up. Ryan was really
good about helping me get the kitchen back in order. It was a fun day!!!! I love spending time with my family!!!
