Happy Halloween!

I can't believe it's already Halloween! Not complaining really - it's going to be a fun filled weekend. Trick or treating tonight and a Halloween Party tomorrow. I'm tired just thinking of it! Actually, it's a beautiful day which is why I thought to blog about it. We've actually been really lucky for each of Drew's Halloweens.

The first one, well honestly I don't really remember the first one now, oh yeah, we didn't do much cuz Drew was just 8 months old. And Ryan handed out the candy.

The second one, my Aunt Cindy was here. We both took Drew, in his stroller, around to a few houses in the neighborhood. It was fun, but a bit cold. I remember Cindy had on her favorite pair of earrings and she lost one of them. She had a turtleneck sweater on and we figured it helped push the earring up and fell out. So, a determined Cindy took the flashlight out in the complete darkness and much colder night, trying to retrace her steps in finding the earring. Yep, that's what I said too, "OK, good luck with that. It's worth a shot - I guess?" Anyway, she came back empty handed and was kinda bummed about it. In her normal positive energy fashion she decided to keep wearing the other one, just in case the first found it's way back to us. A couple days later, somehow the second one decided to join the first, and as Cindy saw it - it was fate they both be lost together. It actually put her mind at ease that both were now gone.

Drew's third one (last year) we met up with Miles & John and went through the neighborhood together. It was nice having an older kid with us kept Drew going and not whining too much about getting tired.

This year we are headed over to a friends house. I guess they really go all out in their neighborhood and since it's Friday, we figured what the heck. The party tomorrow is hosted by one of the daycare families. We heard from several other parents last year, it was a great time, so we're going to make an attempt at it. Hopefully Drew won't be too tuckered out from T or T's tonight.

Happy Halloween & TGIF!!
