Halloween+Visits=Great fun!

Is it just me or did the month of October just fly by? Seems like every year October through December goes by faster and faster! We had a great October, but it would be nice if the weather were just a bit cooler! Our Halloween was fun, and we had a visit from Greg's dad that made it extra special this year.


The girls trick or treated down a few streets in the neighborhood, but after a while said they wanted to go home.


Every year after trick or treating the girls like to come home and eat their candy by the fire. Yes, it was 85 on Halloween. I had to turn the AC down and turn on all the fans! Not sure how that tradition got started (maybe it was actually cold on Halloween a few years ago??) but the girls really look forward to it. So, we have a fire and drink hot chocolate whether it is 85 or 40 outside. This year the girls invited a friend over to watch a Scooby Doo movie as well.


We really enjoyed our visit with Papa Chris! He is such a good sport with the girls--played Webkinz, games and everything they like to do!

I am laughing at the fire burning. You are a good mom to uphold traditions. Fun to have Papa Chris visit on Halloween. I love to have grandparents share in the excitment of holidays.
