Halloween

Just wanted to share about the fun the boys had this Halloween. The boys are in Mother's Day Out at our church on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This past Thursday was October 30th, so they all got to dress up in their costumes and "trick or treat" around the church offices and the staff all gave them something in their bags that the teachers made for them. One of the teachers and a friend of mine, Kristen, took pics of them all and had them developed in a one hour lab so all of them had a frame with their pic in it from that day! They were adorable!

Friday Jack and I were talking about how it was Halloween and that we were going to be trick-or-treating that evening. He asked if "miss mewanie" (Mrs. Melanie) was going to be going with us. I told him that she was not, but that daddy was coming home and was going with us. He started crying and said he wanted Mrs. Melanie to go and that he did not like daddy! He's started saying that he doesn't like people lately???

Guess I should say that the boys both went as Cowboys this year. Jack wanted to keep his hat and all his gear (chaps, hankerchief, etc.) on because he was a "real cowboy". Jace threw things off faster than we could get them on him. He was supposed to be a horse, but an ebay mishap made me redirect and just do both of them as cowboys.

We went to our church Fall Fest on Friday night just in time to miss the costume contests with all his friends in it. We let Jack play for a little bit in the bounce-arounds and that sort of thing, then we left to actually go trick-or-treating. Jack enjoyed going up to all of the houses and getting candy but he wasn't actually that interested in talking to them. He just wanted to hold his bag open and have them drop in the candy, then turn and do it again at the next house! It was pretty funny. We didn't really get Jace out of the stroller to go up to the houses much. He didn't have a clue what was going on.

Hope you all had a great Halloween. It's much more fun for me now with kids!
