Trick-or-Treat!

One of the houses in our neighborhood--they went all out--the kids were a little scared!

All the cousins dressed-up!

Heading out to get some candy--notice it's not dark yet...we couldn't hold them off any longer!

Humoring me--thanks kids!

My pumpkin pizza--a bit boring but it was tasty:)

One of the lady's at the nursing home--she's such a joy to visit every week!

We had a great Halloween and the kids were so excited to go trick-or-treating we could barely hold them off till dark! Right after school we got our costumes on and Grandma Reese came over to see the kids and bring them some treats. Then we headed to the nursing home to visit our friends there and show off the kids costumes. It was so fun to see the people's faces--they seemed very touched we came to see them on Halloween. The picture above is of Mrs. Hughes and she is the kids favorite "old" person--she is always happy to see the kids and has a sucker stash--which the kids love!
We then had dinner-our version of pumpkin pizza. I had never done this before and the kids were not as into it as I would have liked and sadly they don't like too much on their pizza so my creativity was quenched--oh what I could have done with some fresh veggies:)
Anyways after they shoved the pizza down their faces we went out to trick-or-treat around the neighborhood. We seriously couldn't have picked a better area to live. There are a ton of people out with their kids and a lot of the neighbors decorate their houses and love on our kids! I love it! We stayed out about an hour and then the kids wanted to go back to the house and handout candy to all the trick-or-treaters. This is by far their favorite part of the night--Abby and Reese hand out the candy and they love seeing all the costumes! I'm not sure how many we had come to the door but let's just say we ran out of candy within 45 minutes and we decided we should just sit outside on the porch and handout the candy that way! (they just kept coming:)
Well now we have enough candy to last us all year---which is a good thing because just the other day I threw away all the old candy from last year! :)
