Halloween Fun!

Halloween was a very LONG day for Brooklyn! We had a meeting at church at 9:30, then a quick bite at Taco Bell before heading home to get the kids coats, in case it got cold Trick-or-Treating. Half an hour later we headed to the school for Halloween parade/parties. We watched the parade of costumes in the gym, then bounced between the girls' classroom and Garrett's, which are on opposite ends of the school, by-the-way. At 3:00 I persuaded the kids that we could skip recess and head straight to Nana and Papa's in Marion. Not without stopping at Sonic for a Diet Coke, however! :-)

Mom had Chili, cinnamon rolls and homemade sugar cookies, plus the goodie bags she always does for the kids. The best surprise of all, though, was getting to see Aunt NeeNee (my sister Whitney), who came home from K-State just to go trick-or-treating with the kids. Thanks Whit--you're the best!

My niece came up as well, Shye, and is the lil pumpkin you'll see in the slide show. Her and Brooklyn are best buds and had a great time going door-to-door. Brooklyn felt like one of the big kids this year because she walked the WHOLE way! This made for a great drive home because she sacked out BIG TIME!

Daddy didn't get to come this year. It's the first Halloween he's missed EVER! It couldn't be avoided because fall harvest is funning so far behind. I got some good pics on Saturday and will try to post them soon!

Take care,
Jenelle
