My Two Little Trick-or-Treaters

Thursday, Brenna and Brody had their Halloween party at school.  In a surprise turn of events, I was able to take some personal time to attend their party and parade.  They were very excited to see me but were also confused that I ended up coming to the party when I had told them that I wouldn't be able to make it.  Nana, Papa, and Great-Grandma De-De also came to the school to watch the parade.  Neither one cried when I had to leave.  Progress!   No pictures from that yet.  My co-worker let me use her camera but the pictures are still on it.

Saturday morning, Sarah, Jaxon and Avery came for a quick visit.  We also got a visit from Desi, Abbi (Desi's friend) and Tootie who stopped to deliver some candy to Brenna and Brody. After our company left, we made green goop.  Brenna and Brody had found the recipe in a coloring book. 

Saturday afternoon, we met at Aunt Jessie's house to go Trick-or-Treating.  The hours were from 4-8 so it was nice to get an early start.  Aunt Lisa and Brad make a quick visit to see the kids before going out in Eau Claire for the evening. Steve and I both commented that it was nice to just watch Brenna and Brody run up to the house indepedently.  We were thinking back when B and B were slightly smaller and we had to worry about steps or big kids running them over. We were done walking around by 5:30 and then had to make a few stops that required hopping into the truck (friends, Anthony and Janell's house and Nana and Papa's house).  Brenna and Brody were both exhausted and were sleeping before we got home.

Today (Sunday), Great-Grandma De-De, the kids and I made a quick trip to Eau Claire so Brenna and Brody could get haircuts.  We enjoyed some outside time when we got home.  It was so nice out.  This week by the time I get home from work it will be too dark to be outside.  Depressing!
