Our Official Halloween!

Since today is actually the real Halloween (hard to tell with the days full of Halloween activities that we've had!), Katie Anne wanted to continue the Halloween fun.  Even though our town did decide to move trick or treating to last night, I guess moving Halloween to an earlier time just doesn't make sense to a three-year-old ... and it really doesn't make a lot of sense to the rest of us, either!  

Also, since Saunders was at the GA-FL game, he'd missed most of the Halloween fun.  We didn't want to deprive him of all that wild sugar-crazed goodness!  So, we planned a few last-minute Halloween treats to do tonight as a family.



We started by trick or treating Gigi and Granddad.  We'd hung out with them last night, but Katie Anne wanted to trick or treat them on the "real" day, too - and I wanted to get a picture of them with the kids!

Then, we headed to First Baptist for their "Candy and Costumes" event.  Katie Anne had heard about it at Cubbies, and she kept asking about it, so I thought it would be fun to do.  It was fun - and there was tons to do - but it was insanely crowded!  We stayed for about an hour, and the crowds just kept getting bigger and bigger.  Katie Anne had a great time and got lots of candy - SJ slept through the whole event in his car seat in the stroller, which was awesome!
 Bouncy house madness...


Cotton candy goodness...

Trick or treat mania...


Just starting to wake up on the way to the car ... sticking his little tongue out!

We ended the night by trick or treating at Doc and VJ's house!  



After Katie Anne looted their candy bowl, sang loudly into a whisk, and danced around in a sugar-induced haze, we ate dinner with them, too.  After some visiting, we headed home to get ready for our back to school morning tomorrow!
