Trick or Treat

I feel like the last week or so has gone a hundred miles an hour. It has been a rush of fun and exciting things. From going to see Wicked then to Disneyland throw in a couple of Halloween parties and then trick or treating and we are done. I feel like going into hibernation for a while if only that could really happen. This is only the beginning we still have lots of birthdays, an anniversary, and a couple more holidays to enjoy before the end of the year.

It seems like all of the decisions on what everyone is going to be for Halloween usually stresses me out a little, because I hate spending a lot of money on something that is only worn once or twice. Not this year everything came together almost too easily. My friend Jenny came up with the cute idea for Brooke being a chef it suits her perfectly. I was looking through old costumes and Jake was all over Tyler's old costume of the buff Mr. Incredible. I just fell into the perfect deal at the Disney Store for Tyler's Pirates of the Caribbean costume I got it for the bargain price of $9. That brings us to Spencer he is so easy going. He had made a very cool tool box this summer at scout camp and that led to him being a construction worker.
Grandma Sue, Papa Dennis, Uncle Ben, and Aunt Esther all came to enjoy the festivities. Papa scared poor Jake to death with his mask, but isn't that what Halloween is all about well that and of course the gobs of candy. Papa stayed at the house and handed out candy while the rest of us took to the streets and started the sugar fest. Tyler was done after about 10 houses or so he said he already had too much candy and didn't want to get a stomach ache. Now who's the parent? You got to love Tyler as he tells the people at the houses no thank you because he doesn't like chocolate. At least he has some manners so we told him to take what he is given be grateful and then give the chocolate to the adults. As Tyler ran out of steam Aunt Esther carried him from house to house he is lucky to have such a great aunt. Poor Spencer's tool box got heavy very quickly so Uncle Ben helped out carrying all the loot. Jake took the lead and ran to every house the entire time. There was no slowing him down. Of course Brookie was walking with Grandma she loves being with her as much as possible.
Over all yesterday was a great success everyone was happy and having fun.
