We had a lot of fun on Halloween. We spent the day over at Grandma and Grandpa Williams' house. Their front yard was covered in leaves so we raked them in a pile for the kids to jump around and play in. Kate loved it....Sammy was a little unsure about it all.
Then we put their costumes on and took them to Downtown Nampa for some trick-or-treating. They really liked seeing all the people and the other kids' costumes.
We followed that up with a quick dinner at home then it was off to Trunk-or-Treating at the church. I made a loop around the parking lot with Kate and Sam while Joe and Alice manned the trunk. Sammy caught on pretty quickly with the idea that when you say, "Trick-or-Treat" you get candy in your bucket. Once we got back to our own trunk Kate and Sam helped Joe pass out candy to the other kids. I think that ended up being their favorite part.
After the church we dropped by CoraLyn's house (Joe's sister). Their kids were having a Halloween party with all their friends over there so we came by to keep Steve and CoraLyn company for a bit. It was nice just to let our kids loose for a few minutes play while we just hung out. Thanks CoraLyn and Steve for letting us come over!
Kate the Ballerina
Our little Punkin Sammy
Cheerleader Alice
Needless to say, the whole day was a lot of fun. Kate loved dressing up in her ballerina costume (which was actually mine when I was little) and Sammy finally warmed up to his pumpkin costume. At first all he would do was pull on it and get frustrated but after a while he gave up and just had to accept it. Alice was a little cheerleader but I put some pjs underneath her little outfit to keep her warm since we were outside quite a bit.
