Happy Halloween!

Happy (Belated) Halloween! Our family went to my Grandpa and Grandma's and we took the little girls around trick-or-treating.






As you can see, there were two other little boys that we decided to take with us. With the nine of us, one stroller, in the dark, and in the cold you can see how long that lasted! They were pretty helpful though. When we went up to a house this older couple would come to the door with a bowl of candy:

Us: "Trick-or-Treat!"
Them: "Aaaaaaahhhh! you all are soooo cute! Here you go, and here you go and, did I give you one? Well, here you go too! You boys are so cute! Are they twins? Here, you're so cute, why don't you guys just take another one. Well they probably can't have it can they? Oh well, you can eat it for them! Bye."

The only downside to this, was that the only houses that did this gave out peanut butter candy. (which half the people in our family can't have.)

Well, anyway you can imagine how long we lugged Luke and Levi around! After dropping them off we took Emily and Ashley around to another few houses we went alone to the rest of the neighborhood. Because my Grandma and Grandpa live in an older, community neighborhood they don't usually have anybody for trick-or-treating so even w/out the little girls we were a big hit! :)




The five of us, (Annsley, me, Seth, Cade, and Claire) all agreed on our favorite house. This lady met us at the door with a big bag of Almond Joy.

"Well, hello! I'm so happy we have trick-or-treaters. We never have any! Lemee just get this open...(attempts to rip) oh, well. (she bites down on it and tears it open with her teeth) okay, now here you go. (she hands one of us a heaping handful) and here you go, and, oh, I didn't give you enough. oops! here you go. Oh did I miss you sweetie? Well, I might as well just give you all of it, I'm not going to see anybody else tonight."

Then she continued to finish off the bag on us!

Anyway, we had a great time. Now we're just gettin' ready for Thanksgiving.
