I love Halloween

I really love Halloween and this year did not disappoint! We carved pumpkins first thing in the morning, (the kidos were still in their jammies!) and they all did great, Mads especially loved it. She loves anything that involves a big mess and so carving pumpkins was right up her alley! That afternoon we headed over to our friends house, the Joses, for their annual Halloween party. It involves hot dogs tamales and Que Bueno. You cannot beat that. As soon as it was dark we all headed out to trick or treat. I had complained earlier in the day about how hot it was, but it sure makes for a great night for trick or treating. I grew up in Utah where you never got to see anyones costume because you had to be so bundled up. Last night was perfect weather. Then it was back to the Joses for the traditional candy dump and then the trading begins. This is serious business to the kids and quite possibly the most important part of the evening. We all came away tired, sticky and full of junk food! A perfect night all in all.
