Trunk or Treat

Our ward's annual Trunk-or-Treat was last Saturday. The kids were so excited to get all dressed up, and to get a good start on the Halloween Candy! Anna and Aimee were "beautiful" (good) witches, while Nathan was a very cute little fireman. I think he'd eaten half of his loot by the time we got home. The next morning he carried it all around while we got ready for church, and when we pulled into the parking lot, that Halloween bag was safely clutched in his little hands. We had to do some talking to get him into the church minus the bag of candy. (He did manage to carry in a licorice stick, however...)

As soon as we got home from the Trunk-or-Treat, the kids held the great "candy swap" to trade for their favorites. Then Aimee immediately took inventory, catagorizing each candy and writing down how much she had. Very imoprtant!

What a fun evening! After our 90-degree heat wave last week, it finally felt like "fall" in the cool air with chili and popcorn and homemade rootbeer. And the best part? We still have Halloween ahead of us, so we can do it all over again!
