Happy Halloween

Well this has to be one of my favorite holidays! I had so much fun today. I love being home on halloween. It started with me cooking our favorite chili this afternoon. I love the smell of chili in the house on a cold day. And really it was not to cold, this morning was cold but this afternoon and evening was wonderful. We couldn't of asked for more beautiful, perfect halloween weather! So we all get dressed and ready early evening....got our bowls of candy all ready for the trick or treaters! Then daddy came home and we ate dinner together...and the door bell started to ring. The kids had so much fun running to the door and handing out candy. Mary Alice really did not need our help at all...she greeted everyone with a "happy halloween" and then followed it up by putting the bowl of candy in front of her and saying "what would you like?"..."take only one piece please"....(i had told her that when she was handing out candy to put just one piece in each bag....in years past she had put a handful in each bag)...and then she would say "have a great halloween....happy trick or treating tonight"..by the end of the night steve and i would just sit on the couch and let her handle the door by herself!

Needless to say Halloween was a hit! I took Minnie and Mickey up and down our street and Steve took them on the street behind our house. Then they came home and handed out some more candy.

Here are mickey and minnie (sorry you cannot see their ears).... they had so much fun. This was the first year that both the kids really enjoyed halloween and had so much fun together. And let me tell you..people love minnie and mickey. Everywhere we went people just couldn't wait to talk to and meet minnie and mickey! The kids loved it!

Oh, my gosh, I've been looking forward to seeing Mickey and Minnie all day long! Your pictures did not disappoint me--how perfect. Thank you for sharing. Coach and I handed out lots of candy tonight--but we didn't have a Mickey or Minnie come by! We love you so much and miss all of you North Carolina Hirsts! Many hugs and kisses, Mamma and Coach

Mice have gotten really cute this year. Your were both the best looking Minnie and Mickey that I have ever seen. Wish we could of been there. Did you have a lot of fun?

Don't eat all your candy in one day......

See you for Turkey.

Looks like everyone had fun tonight!

It has been almost a year since I saw Mickey and Minnie. Glad to see that they are still lookin' good.

We didn't have too many kids come by the house, but then again, we weren't at home, so that might be more of the reason.

Can't wait to see you in a few weeks!

Love you.

Kaylnn- your babies are precious!! I mean i guess they are not babies really anymore! AAAAHHH!
The video I did was easy. I have a video option on my camera for short videos and I just uploaded onto the blog like a pic. There is a video option now that there used to not be! So that is it! I had to do it twice to get it to work and it took awhile! Lov les
