Halloween!

Halloween time has come and gone again! Our family had a great Halloween this year. We carved our pumpkins the night before. Each of the kids had their own pumpkin to design and help carve. It was messy of course, but all of us had a good time.
Halloween day was very exciting. This is the first year that all the kids really understand what's happening. Being Halloween was on Saturday this year, the girls tried getting ready all day long. They were ready to trick or treat by 10 in the morning. Much to their disappointment, costumes did not go on until 4:30. Once everyone was dressed, their game was on. Trying to trick or treat from our house until it was time to go out. Finally the time came. Brett stayed home with Randy and handed out candy. The girls hit the trick or treating trail. Bryanna and Braelynn did great! They said "trick or treat" and "thank you" at every house. That is until the end when Braelynn started getting tired. At that point she would get to the door and I would remind her "what do we say girls" and Braelynn would look at the person in the house and flat out say "I'M TIRED" and soon after that the protest began. Braelynn would not go up any stairs, she would sit down and say she needed "a little rest." So, Bryanna finished up and home we went with quite a loot!
