Well another year of Trick-or-Treating has passed. The girls counted down the days until it was time to Trick-or-Treat! It's fun to look forward to holidays with little children. They get so excited that you can't help but be excited too. I couldn't wait for them to get all dressed up and take them around the neighborhood! We started our day at Reagan's school with a Halloween Parade. I had a teacher work day, so Alan and I got up like normal and got the kids up and I did their hair. Alan was going to go to the parade too so he stayed with the kids while I went to work. I met Alan and the kids at Monte Vista Elementary around 8:30 and we watched the parade at about 9:00. Then I had to go back to work and Alan took the kids to Wells Fargo were they got to go Trick-or-Treating to the different peoples desks. Reagan said she got a little sick riding the elevator to the 13th floor and Alan said Camden was a little afraid of the elevator when it started to move. They had a great time though and got more candy than I thought they would! Alan then took the kids back to Aimee's, our babysitter, for the rest of the day. We have started going Trick-or-Treating, because our kids are pretty young, between 5:30 and 6:00. I made french toast for dinner and then we got our costumes on and were ready to go around 6:00. Alan's brother Michael is staying with us while his parents are on a trip, so he went with us. Reagan and Michael were SO ready to go. They wanted to run from door to door, but poor little Kairi doesn't move that fast. We finally got them slowed down and they all had a great time. Camden started off being pulled in our wagon, but then Alan gave him M&M's and other candy and soon he was crawling out of the wagon and running high on sugar all over the neighborhood! He was hilarious to watch. At one point we saw a cat and he wanted to chase the cat as long as the cat didn't turn around and look at him. If the cat turned to face him he turned and ran squealing back to Alan. We laughed so hard. We made it all around our little neighborhood and were back home a little after 7:00. It was perfect timing because just as we were opening the garage it really started to rain. It had sprinkled on us a little while were out, but it got worse after we got home. Needless to say there weren't too many Trick-or-Treaters this year. When we came in the house Reagan said, "Well... Trick-or-Treating is over". It was just so matter of fact. Then the kids got their pajamas on and Reagan passed out candy when kids came to our door. Another Halloween is behind us and we had a great time!


Reagan said she was a princess witch. Her hat came off before she got to us during the parade.


Kairi was a princess... go figure!


Our little super man! He LOVES this costume!

Cute little Bee. This was Reagan's first Halloween costume too.
