Happy Halloween


After over 300 trick or treaters, we still thought it was great having halloween in a home. Bryson said it was funner trick or treating at actual houses rather than people's backyard patios like we did at Stanford. People had warned us how many people come to this neighborhood trick or treating so we had lots of candy on hand but that is still a lot of doorbell rings between 6pm and 8:30. Alyssa did try to steal the show with thinking this was a party even though she didn't know why. She would grin and kick her legs like crazy when helping to answer the door. The kids got quite a bit of candy themselves but thank goodness the witch fairy will be visiting tonight!




Bryson's school had a costume carnival on Friday. Instead of doing all the crazy Halloween stuff and costumes at school, they did nothing today but had the big carnival with lots of little kid games and little prizes - not candy :) The kids were excited when they learned what a cake walk was. It was one of the first things we tried and then we tried it once more as we were leaving and Bryson won a cake. Kaitlyn was pretty disappointed when Bryson picked cinnamon rolls instead of a cake but I was impressed with him because he doesn't even like cake so cinnamon rolls was definetely the best choice. He was quite proud of himself. I do worry what their expectations will be at the next carnival!!!

yay for the return of the Witch Fairy! You guys are awesome! The kids look so cute. We actually carved pumpkins and stuff this year - hoping we'd get some trick or treaters - but its 8 and not one doorbell ring. Happy Halloween!
