By the time Halloween got here I think I was pretty ready for it to be over we had the cold floating through out our family and friends so we haven't had many days lately where we were all healthy. But holidays dont wait even if you don't feel good. We had preschool that morning and then headed to Matt's office to do some trick or treating before naps. On the way home from work Matt stopped and got us some pizza and I made chili for us to enjoy before heading to the ward trunk or treat. Hallie thought the jack o latern face was pretty cool.
We got to the trunk or treat just in time to set up our trunk and take some pictures the only downfall is that in the 5 min between our house and the church Gracie decided she was tired and proceeded to sleep the entire trunk or treat so that is why she is missing in our pics but she was a happy camper once she woke up.
Hallie and her friend Allie have so much fun together and play so well together she was thrilled when I told her she could trick or treat with her for the 3rd time in a week.(We went to a nursing home and took her with us to Matt's work)
Once we got home Gracie was awake and ready to take pictures...here is our little bumble bee and witch
This year was the 1st year that Hallie really understood the concept of Halloween and was Happy to say trick or treat knowing what the result was. We let her pick a handful of her favorite candy and left the rest for the switch witch to take in exchange for some prizes that weren't candy. It was kinda a last minute idea this year but I think in years to come it will be a great option for us to keep our kids minimally sugered!! Happy Halloween

Oooo, the switch witch. That's a fun name for it. Ours was totally last minute too. We hadn't even said anything to Nathan about it until after we got home from trick-or-treating. Nathan has asked a couple of times why the Great Pumpkin took his candy. He's ok after we explain it again. Oops, next year we'll do better!
