Trick or Treat

Yesterday was such a FUN Halloween! It was my favorite one so far. As the kids get a little older and understand it more, it just becomes much more enjoyable! Our neighbors (actually friends, I hate calling them "neighbors", sounds so impersonal!) came over for trick-or-treating, pizza, drinks...We hit up the new development across the street which was the perfect size, minus the fact that a TON of houses has all their lights on inside & out, but weren't home. Isn't it common sense that if your not home, or don't want to participate in Halloween that you turn your porch light off? I guess that hasn't made it's way all the way to the folks in Granite Falls yet!
Ari had been so excited to go trick 0r treating and have a "pizza party" with Morgan, she just ADORES her, it's pretty cute.
We got home and the kids spread out their candy on Ari's floor and did some major candy trading. That was my favorite thing to do on Halloween when I was little, though I'm pretty sure my sister tricked me out of all my good candy one way or another. "I'll give you THREE(gross, fake) chocolate coins for just 2 of your Twix bars??" something like that I'm sure....Maybe it was more, "give me a Snickers or I'll tell mom and dad you hit me!!"....ya, that was it..

Here are some photos from our fun Halloween day!

We stopped by my mom's neighbor Pat's house earlier in the day. She had little treats and cookies for the kids. A & D love her and she's so good to them! On our way home Ari was going through her treat bag and found that Pat had given her a dollar! I have never seen a little girl be so excited!! She told me, "I really liked all the candy Pat gave me, but I REALLY REALLY LOVED that dollar!" hilarious...

The whole trick or treating gang. I love this pic because Morgan is looking at Ari, Ari is looking at Darren, Darren is looking at Maddy, and Maddy is smiling at the camera!
Big deal that Ari would go up to the doors with out me!

Morgan and all the candy!!
