halloween

Matt took off the Haunted Forest for a few hours so that he could attend the turnk Or Treat with us.
Halloween night I was home with the three little kids and Mike who had decided he ws tired of acting and being in the cold all night. I had imagined us staying home and passing out candy, but when the doorbell began to rang the dog went crazy and the kids went crazy and I knew I couldn't handle a night full of this. At this point, the lesser of two ecils became reality. I yelled at the children to raid the dress up box, strapped on the baby and we were off. The kids had a great time, I enjoyed a nice brisk walk and the candy was a definite plus! Pretty crazy when the saner option is to go trick or treating by yourself with 4 children, three 4 yrs and younger...
