trick or treating at Mammy's
thanks Mammy!
We then headed to church, where our annual "Trunk or Treat" was moved indoors and renamed "Doorway or Treat". The community turnout was great - I think we were able to attract more folks than normal due to the rainy weather that was threatening to rain out traditional trick or treating. Lily and Bear were a little overwhelmed by the crowds of people at first, but a little candy helped them come out of their shells. We walked around trick or treating at different classroom doors, played some games, and helped give out candy at our Sunday School class' table. Bear, you were adorable walking around saying "trick or treat" to everyone you passed. Lily, you had more fun helping Mrs. Alison and Mrs. Shawna pass out candy to our little visitors than collecting candy for yourself.

After Trunk or Treat, we headed home for dinner, football, and since the weather cooperated and the rain trickled off, we did a bit of trick or treating in our neighborhood too. Josh and I took turns taking Lily and Bear around. Bear, your favorite part of trick or treating was ringing the doorbell at our neighbor's homes. Our mayor lives down the street and Bear must have rang his doorbell 5 or 6 times in a row. When he answered he said to Bear, "Aren't you a patient little one!" Lily, you loved the homes who let you pick out your own candy. You don't like chocolate, and on several occasions would give Snickers or Reeses Cups back to those who gave them to you. Needless to say, Daddy was a bit disappointed in the candy selection in your bag. When we got cold and tired of walking around the neighborhood, we headed home to finish giving out the candy we had to the trick or treaters. Lily, you've decided this is your new favorite thing to do. You would watch out the window and would get so excited when you saw kids approaching. You had the door open, candy in hand before they even could ring the doorbell. You were so sad when it got late and the trick or treating was finished. I think you'll be disappointed when you wake up tomorrow and realize Halloween is over until next year!Our sweet friend Lauren the Good Witch

After bouncing for a while, we rode a train around a portion of the golf course. Bear loved the train - it was by far his favorite event of the day. He'd yell "
