Halloween

Halloween was a fun one here at our house. Garrett was Harry Potter this year. Connor wore his karate gui and was karate kid and Kylie was Cinderella. The kids had a fun Halloween carnival at school and then we went to a spooky story festival at the library. The kids had fun making crafts and listening to spooky stories. We came home and Chelton made very yummy home made chili and then after hours and hours of begging he took the kids trick or treating. They had a good time but apparently Kylie was afraid at every house because apparently every person in Fillmore owns either a cat or a dog and Chelton couldn't wait in the car while they went to the houses he had to walk up to every house with her because there was a dog or a cat in it. Other than that they had a good time trick or treating and I stayed home and passed out candy. We actually got a TON of trick or treaters. We were pre-warned that our street got a lot so we were prepared. We have a Christmas light box that plays music that also has a halloween setting so we put that out so we had scary music playing all night and put white Christmas lights in our pumpkins so we actually had some semi-decent decorations this year...the kids thought it was pretty cool. When they got home from trick or treating we ate the yummy chili and made mummy dogs (hot dogs wrapped in refrigator croissant dough and baked in the oven to look like mummies) that was a big hit and we watched Hocus Pocus. We did get a picture of the kids with Chelton's phone...not the best but here it is:



The kids are already talking about next Halloween.....
