Halloween was on a Monday this year which meant we had our ordinary stuff going on before the excitement began - I had to work in the morning, Isaiah had school in the afternoon and Mark got the keys to his laser tag spot at the mall! But we tuned out all the craziness of our every day life for just a few hours on Halloween night. The boys were so excited to dress up in their costumes and go trick-or-treating! We've gone door to door trick-or-treating the past couple years, but Isaiah hasn't been extremely interested and Levi's been pretty little so we didn't make it too long, but this year I had a feeling we'd go longer -- and we did! But first we made a stop to see Grandma.
Then we stopped by Kammy's house and then off we went. The boys lasted about an hour and then they were done - but we still had about a 10 minute walk back so we stopped at a few more on the way. I think it was a lot of fun for all 4 of us! After we got home, the boys dumped all of their candy out to see what they got! This is something I remember doing as a kid - maybe the best part of Halloween!?! They definitely got more than enough candy and enjoyed more than they probably should have that night - but we figured you are only 3 & 5 once so why not? Since then the candy has sat up in the cupboard and they've only eaten a few pieces here and there. Out of sight out of mind!
