For Halloween this year, we went to our ward Trunk-or-Treat the night before Halloween. It was a lot of fun and for the first time ever, we actually handed out candy instead of just swiping everyone else's. The only problems I encountered were that the older kids' costumes were a bit overwhelming and scary for the little kids. My 3 year old doesn't understand that it's only fake blood or fake facial piercings or that the boy dressed like a girl is actually a boy. Considering it was a church function, I was a little disappointed in our youth. If you want to be grusome and ghoulish, save it for non-church festivities. Okay, off my high horse. My other problem was that many of the older kids came around for seconds and thirds of candy before most of the other kids had been around once. Come on you guys, you don't really need all that candy. I started to cut them off after the second or third time around.
Halloween night, we went to Clayton's sister's house. She lives in a pretty upscale neighborhood. She had her golf cart on steriods hooked up to a trailer with hay bales. They took the kids Trick-or-Treating on the hay wagon. Andrew had a blast. The only mishap we had was one episode of jumping off the wagon before it had stopped. Crazy enough, he landed on his feet and took off running.
So, what did the kids dress up as, you ask? I had a very handsome fireman and one crazy, cute monkey!

Good to see you back!
The boys were so cute. I'm glad that Andrew had fun, even if the costumes were a little overboard.
Thank you so much Valerie for your comment on my blog! I love all sorts of crafts and I'm so grateful to the Lord for blessing me with many talents. I am planning on having some basic sewing classes soon, so I'll let you know when I do!
Btw, you're boys are so adorable and I love the name Luke!!!! That's one I haven't heard for awhile!
