Happy Halloween, part 4





After rushing home from Aunt TiTi's house, we quickly ate dinner so we could start Trick or Treating.


We thought we were doing a great job, running on time, until the doorbell rang at 6:15pm....our first customers!

Colleen quickly got dressed in warmer clothes and we headed out at 6:30pm.

We headed out to our neighbors and then down to the townhouses, a block away. Colleen had a blast "walking fast" up to each house that had a light on. (we taught her that she can only go up to a house that has the lights on)

After realizing that Kellen had a poopy diaper, we decided to head back home. This was actually a good thing, since Colleen's bag was already filled with candy and she couldn't carry it!

So we headed back, but it was still early and Colleen still wanted to go to more houses.......so Jeff took Kellen back to the house, we emptied Colleens bag into Kellen's and I took Colleen out to our neighbors behind us.

Colleen went crazy! She was no longer "walking fast" she was RUNNING!

Colleen says to me "Come on Mommy. I need my exercise!"

I wasn't wearing running shoes, so it was a little hard for me to keep up with her, but she did entertain everyone on the block who was passing out candy. They couldn't stop laughing at Snow White running down the block with her Mommy chasing after her.

Colleen was also getting a little cold. So I look and she is sitting on the grass.

"What are you doing?" I asked Colleen

"Getting my butt warm" She said to me. So funny!

After going around the block (which is very big) we headed back home, expecting to see Kellen in bed.

Nope!

Jeff never had the chance to change Kellen because kids kept coming. All the little girls who came to the door fell in love with Kellen the fireman! We were impressed he never took off his hat!

At 8pm, we had run out of the MANY bags of candy we had and half of Colleen's candy that she had gotten. We decided to turn off the lights and put the kids to bed. Kids kept coming up to the house, we could hear them, but the realized we were done and didn't ring the bell.


We hope everyone had a great Halloween!
