Halloween

Halloween was a super fun day for the kids

They had a party at the school in the afternoon, so we were running around in the morning getting costumes ready, as well as trying not to be late for school.

When I came home from work we rushed around getting Russ's costume finished (he didn't want to dress up in the morning) and ran out the door. 

We had to be finished trick or treating before the fireworks at 7:30 - thats why the rush.

First house for trick or treating!

Once we were finished walking through the neighborhood we went over to the community hall for hot dogs, hot chocolate and fireworks. The fireworks were gorgeous, once again the Forest Grove Volunteer fire fighters out did themselves!

When we were home the kids quickly sorted their candy and had a few more samples before bed.

I remember going out for hours with a pillow case and getting LOTS of candy, not my kids they only want to go to a few houses and are very excited about the candy they get - gotta love it!!! But not enough for Mom to sneak very many pieces - heehee.
