School Halloween Parade

Would you believe I didn't get pictures of the kids in their costumes on Halloween?!! It was a horrible night, weather-wise, and it was a timing game as to when the kids would go trick-or-treating. Rather than waiting for it to get really dark, when there was a little break in the rain and sleet, Jay hurried and took the kids out, even though it was at dusk. I was going to get pictures of them when they got back but the second they returned, they quickly took off their soaking-wet costumes and begged for hot chocolate. So thanks, Nana, for sharing your picture of Papa and the kids.
Jay and the kids ended up staying out for over an hour and though we didn't get nearly as many trick-or-treaters this year at our house, our kids came back with more candy than I have ever seen! I think everyone was just dumping handfuls of candy in the trick or treat bags. I was doing the same but only used 1/4 of the candy we bought.

We tried to bribe the kids to sell us their bags of candy, especially after the big denist bill for Collin's three cavities, yes THREE! Collin, sold us his candy for $15 but Sydney wouldn't even think about it. Collin is also trying to go the whole month without candy. If he can survive the month he'll get $10 more. I'm proud of him.

This is the kid's school Halloween parade... I got to go since I was sick (wink, wink).
