Trunk or Treat & Trick or Treat

Our ward party was a huge success.  It was the biggest one yet.  We had a DJ, fishing for the kids, a bean bag toss, other games, pumpkin contest, chili and hot dogs and corn bread and fruit.  and so many vehicles parked and giving out candy.  The kids brought home so much!  and of course our costumes were a hit!  Everyone always loves the family theme schtick.

Then Trick or Treating in our neighborhood last night was a riot.  I haven't had that busy of a trick or treating since I was about 7.  But it was so much fun!  we have a lot of houses decorated in our area so we went around to all of those.  We did a pretty decent sized loop, probably a couple miles.  At first, we had the twins getting in and out of the stroller since they were learning the ropes for it.  But once they figured out what was going on, they took off running!  Bam-Bam petered out fairly quickly but miss kept picking up speed.  She insisted on walking and didnt want to be in the stroller.  She wanted to join the party.  Dace took the lead and went off on his own ahead of his because our slower baby pace wasnt working for him.  so we let him go ahead as long as we could see him and he liked that independence.  We got home at 8 with a stash that will take months to get rid of if we were to eat it all.  We sent a couple lbs with Dace to school for his collecting contest and it barely made a dent in our pile.  It was the best halloween yet!  and now for long naps today for everyone...
