Happy Halloween!

Tonight was a great night! Grammy and Pops came to see the kids and Jeremy, Holly, and Luke came over to trick or treat with us. We had dinner together and then we loaded the kids up and headed to the fall festival in our neighborhood. Then we walked around for a while from house to house. David had a blast! He loved going into the garages that were really decked out. He only acted scared once. He just ran around carrying his treat bag and saying "tri-tree" (trick or treat). Several people had a fit over their pebbles and bam bam ensemble as well. As long as Alex had a sucker in her mouth she was content to go wherever we wanted! When we got home and my mom was getting her ready for bed we realized she was covered in black fuzzies from her shirt because she was SO sticky. Hopefully my children will not wake up with sugar hangovers...
After the trick or treating we all came back to the house and ate candied apples on the deck and watched the kids run around and play. Then we sat around the fire pit talking for a while until everyone had to go home. Just a great time all the way around!
On a completely different note... David has started using the big boy potty! He acted like he wanted to use the kiddie potty at the Hanks last night so I let him and he actually used it. Then today I asked him if he wanted to go tee tee in the potty and he got up and went to the bathroom and then he went! He did this 3 times today! I had no idea he was so ready to start potty training but I am so proud of him!
I hope everyone had a great Halloween and I will end with fun pics from the night.
