Halloween

Ready for her school party. (I think she was trying to have a piece of candy in the morning.)

Ready to go trick or treating.

Cousins before going out.

Getting treats and helping her cousin, the doctor.

This is such a fun night!!

Eating one piece of candy and looking at all the treats that she got.

After baths and ready for bed but one more Halloween treat!


Halloween was a fun full day for Lauren. She started the day with a party at school. Her school does not allow them to wear costumes. Instead she wore her Halloween skirt and shirt. We have had such a busy week that we overslept on Friday. It was an interesting way to start Halloween but it probably worked out for the best since we got a bit of extra sleep for a busy day ahead of us.

After work, Lauren and I went to my brother and his wife's house to join them for Halloween night. Their daughter, Sammie, was excited to go trick or treating with Lauren. Sammie is two and so it was all pretty new to her. I explained to Lauren that she was now the big cousin and would have to show her what to do. She did a good job of making sure Sammie was with her and helped her when needed.

We got them dressed in their costumes, Lauren the bunny and Sammie the doctor. Then we were off. It was a great night to be out. Not too hot and not too cold! It was nice to go trick or treating in Sammie's neighborhood. It is a very family neighbor and a lot neighbors were sitting outside waiting for the kids to come. There was a ton of people out and about. It made for a fun time.

After walking around the whole neighborhood we headed home. It was time for chili and of course to check out the treats they got. They had baths and then enjoyed a pumpkin cake that Aunt Diane made.

It was a very fun Halloween and now it is time to start get ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas!!
