Happy Happy Halloween

Halloween with little kids is the best! Friday afternoon we headed to Mikey's work to trick-or-treat. I must say that it was a different experience this year. His company went from 86 employees at the beginning of the month to only 27 after severe layoffs. It was definitely quieter this year. We headed home for a quick Halloween dinner of our traditional mummy dogs. I made "blood" to drink for dinner, but Avery refused to play along with that one. She said pretending to actually drink blood was to gross. Dinner was followed by trick-or-treating. I took the kids out this year since the weather was awesome. I usually let Mikey brave the cold, but this year I got to go in short sleeves and sandals. Of course the kids had the best time ever. We met up with Avery's friend Grace and got to trick-or-treat with her. Avery waved her little fan the entire night. It was adorable. After trick-or-treating, we went to find Uncle Dell. He was hiding out in his house with the lights off. Colleen was out of town and he said he needed a Halloween vacation. He did have treats for our kids though (and we ate a few too!). We had another wonderful Halloween with our kids! Oh, and you may be thinking Aidan's costume looks awfully familiar...he really wanted to be a pirate this year, not remembering he was one last Halloween. I figured it was so convenient considering his costume from last year fit perfectly this year! Very cost effective I must say!
