Halloween

Well, this is the first year we have actually had an active halloween. Usually Paul is out of town and I do not want to take all the kids by myself so we dress up and hand out candy while we watch movies and eat popcorn. This year we did a lot though, and the boys loved it. We started out with Boo at the Zoo. We went with some friends and the boys really seemed to like it, although I was not to impressed!! That was last Thursday.

On Monday we went to Kidsfest. It was supposed to be outside and there was supposed to be carnival games, bouncy houses, pony rides, etc. Instead since it had not rained in over 30 days, Mother Nature decided it was time to let loose. It started pouring at about 1:30 in the afternoon, and lasted the rest of the day. They moved Kidsfest into a gym, so they were not able to do everything they had planned. I think for a last minute move, though they did a great job. Caleb and Isaac spent the night playing on the bouncy houses, until right before it was time to go and then they hit some games (which is where you get the candy!). Bryce spent quite a while dancing to Radio Disney (Scooter from Radio Disney was the DJ). When I finally got him away from that he did all of the carnival games. They all seemed to have a good time and were exhausted by the time we left.

We did not get home very late, but we had no trick or treaters all night. Last year our neighborhood was so full that the people who lived here could not get up and down the streets. This year - no one. I did not think the rain would keep people in, but it did.
