Halloween

We had a great day. We went to a friend's house (Misty) in the morning for a Halloween dress-up play date thing. Then we came home in time for naps. Then Nana and Granddad arrived. We went to Lakeside Baptist Church for their fall festival which was awesome. The kids had a BLAST! There were lots of inflatables and little carnival-y games for the kids. The preschool room had 2 bouncys small enough for the little ones. Will played in one the whole time and Kirstine played in the other. They also had a balloon animal maker (we got a sword and a butterfly), a popcorn machine (it was soo good), hotdogs, chips, and sodas. I got one picture taken and then the batteries died. Can you believe it? So I made Scott get some batteries on the way home so we could get some pictures that night. He was in charge of that camera, and I did video. We then went trick-or-treating around our neighborhood. This is really the first time in my life I have been trick-or-treating in my own neighborhood. Even though there weren't that many houses participating, it was still a lot of fun getting to meet more neighbors, and seeing some that we hadn't seen since we took everyone cookies. Always growing up (and even for the last few years with the kids) we always went to other people's neighborhoods and got to see them say hi to their neighbors, now it was our turn! (I don't know how correct this is, but in my memory we spent most of our halloweens growing up in aunt pat's neighborhood. the last 2 years we have gone to the Lynn's neighborhood to go with Giovanni and Adria, and we missed that little tradition this year!:( ) Anyways, here are the few pictures we got:
