I hope everyone had a fun Halloween. It's always so much fun to see the little trick-or-treaters dressed up in their costumes. Morgan dressed up as a Gothic mummy this year. Don't ask me - it wasn't my idea! Morgan dressed Lacey up as a devil. Lacey didn't like it, but she was a good sport. Sammie escaped having to dress up, but I think she was a little bit jealous of the attention that Lacey got. The twins, Isabella and Matthew, dressed up as a kitty and puppy.
Before the trick-or-treating began, we went to a neighbor's house for a little party they have in their driveway every year. This year they served pizza, chicken nuggets, veggies and drinks. It's a wonderful opportunity to see all of the neighborhood kids in their costumes. Everyone has a good time.
Joel took Morgan trick-or-treating around the neighborhood with a couple of her friends while I stayed home to pass out candy. The kids don't like to walk up our long driveway, so we never know how many trick-or-treaters we are going to get. One year I buy lots of candy, and only a few kids show up, and the next year I skimp on the candy and run out. Last year we probably had 50 kids; this year we only had two groups of three kids, and Morgan and her friends were one of the groups. I'll have plenty of candy to take to work on Monday.
I am so thankful that Halloween fell on a Friday this year. It is so hard to stay up late for trick-or-treaters, get Morgan to bed after she has eaten too much candy and then get her up and ready for school the next morning before heading to work. We all slept in this morning, even the dogs.
I'm Lynn, and this is my life!
