Happy Halloween!

Our neighborhood is so awesome! We have a neighborhood Halloween party that is so great. Everyone has an assignment for food or paper products and then we shut down the street, set it all up, eat dinner, have 2 bounce houses for the kids, then one adult will go home to answer the door while groups of kids go out trick-or-treating with the other adults. It's great because we have so many kids in the neighborhood that they always have friends to go with.

Ethan and Courtney had a blast bouncing in the bounce houses...both of them broke their glasses. Actually, a screw fell out of Courtney's so the lens fell out. Ethan's really broke. Luckily, they have a warranty and we'll use it!

Ethan ate a couple of hot dogs, some chips and a bunch of cookies/cupcakes. Courtney ate chips. Yup, a great pre-trick-or-treating meal. There were all kinds of soups but they weren't interested. Go figure!

Then Courtney went with a huge group of girls that included Hayley (her best friend) while Ethan went over to Brennon's house to watch a movie until Brennon, who wasn't afraid to dig in to all the good soups and chips, felt better. (He ate a bit too much at the party and needed time to digest.) Then Ethan and Brennon went around with Brennon's big sisters.

Both kids came home with a huge haul and just in time because we had run out of the pretzel bags we were giving away. I gave away a bunch of Ethan's candy. ;) We then turned off our lights, the kids sorted their candy and chose 5 pieces to keep, and then they put the rest in their bags to wait for the Halloween Fairy to come.

Now it's baths and beds! Yeah for Halloween!
