This year, Halloween was a fun-filled day. As I wrote earlier, we had Maddie's birthday that morning. When we were through cleaning up from that, we took the kids home and tried to lay them down. Turner slept for about 45 minutes and Maddie stayed awake. We had Trunk or Treat at church that started at three, so we headed over there around 3:30. Turner was strapped in the stroller and was good as gold. Maddie was able to go from car to car and say "trick or treat". She would thank them after she got candy and wanted to go again when we were through. I was steadily grabbing the chocolate and items with peanuts from her bag and giving them to someone else. She had so much fun!
After getting candy, we went in the gym for some games. It was very crowded and hot, so we didn't stay long. Maddie and Daddy were able to play a few games and then we headed out. We stopped by Mimi and Boo Boo's house so Boo Boo could see the kids in their costumes. They were able to to get some candy from them and then we decided to head home. It had been a very long, busy day and we had both kids in bed by 7:30. I was very disappointed that my camera's battery ran out as soon as we got to church. So, I didn't get any pictures but the kids looked the same as they did for Mo's party. I have to be better prepared, because I absolutely hated not being able to take their pics at church.
NOTE about Boo Boo: I have written in the past two posts about Boo Boo being at home and wanted to explain here, so I will have it in the years to come. Boo Boo was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer about six weeks ago and just had surgery last Tuesday to have it removed. He is doing very well, but has been on the road to recovery this past week. This is why he wasn't at Maddie's B-day party or Church for Trunk or Treat. We hated for him to have to miss these events, but want him to get well as soon as possible and am glad he has already had the surgery! There will be plenty more birthday's and Halloween's in the years to come:)
