Real Trick or Treating

I have heard in previous years that St. Wendel is a great place to trick or treat, and this year, Dallas heard the talk at school as well.  Doug and I decided the kiddos were big enough to take this year and give it a try.  Wouldn't you know, we pick the coldest Halloween to walk around town and knock on doors!  Oh, well.  Dallas and Reba had a blast, and they came home with quite a load of goodies.

The kiddos had to go up to the door and knock on their own.  They did an awesome job!

Check out those bagful of candy!

Hopefully, next year it will be warmer.

Until next time...

Trunk or Treat

This afternoon was our church's annual Trunk or Treat event.  We love taking the kiddos because we it is a safe area for trick or treating, we see lots of people we know, there are snacks, and a few games.  We lucked out once again this year, and had a gorgeous afternoon to go.

Gathering some goodies!

I also love that our priest dresses up and participates in the fun!

After visiting all the trunks, we grabbed some popcorn and drinks and headed inside to try our hands at Bingo.  We decided to leave after I won (4-corners)!

Fun Friday Fotos - Trunk or Treat

This past Sunday was our church's annual trunk or treat.  I was able to get a few pictures before heading out...

Princess Tiana

Parishiners decorate the "trunks" of their vehicles and pass out candy to the kiddos.  Dallas was much better about going up and saying "trick or treat".  Little Miss stuck like glue behind big brother holding up her bucket.

They really liked this set-up because they were able to pick their own treats; I'm sure the tractor had nothing to do with it

Yesterday the kiddos were even able to dress-up for school.

Which were the same costumes they chose last year!

Whatever makes them happy :)

Until next time...

How would you like to find this little cutie in your lunch box?

The kiddos' friends, Mattison and Ciara, were our only trick-or-treaters on Halloween night.

Dallas' teacher invited his preK class to trick-or-treat at her house, so the kiddos had to dressed up again.  Reba really wanted to be Princess Tiana, but the outfit was misplaced earlier in the week and we couldn't find it the night of Halloween!  Dallas chose to switch up his outfit as well, and he was Woody from Toy Story.

Until next time...

Boo at the Zoo

On Sunday evening, I headed out with the kiddos to Boo at the Zoo!  Doug was already there working at the Monsanto table handing out candy.  This was the best way to get the kids from the parking lot, across the street, and into the zoo...

We finally made it to the entrance!

Once we found Daddy's table, he was able to slip away and walk around with us...We weren't able to see many animals because it was getting dark and they were inside.  We were able to see the rhino; he is housed in the main level of the nocturnal pavilion!

 A quick stop for a little bean bag toss

 She insisted on carrying the bag and walking on her own

The kiddos were very interested in the giant cockroaches...I kept my distance.

All in all, it was a great evening.

Until next time...

Daddy's Golden Birthday!

Today Daddy turned 30 on the 30th!  His "golden" birthday, as some might say.

We celebrated by going out to eat at a fabulous local restuarant, The Log Inn.  It is the oldest restuarant in Indiana, and it has the best fried chicken!

Daddy and Dallas in their matching (Dallas) Clark shirts

Not sure why she was sticking that bottom lip out to Daddy, but it was kind of cute...

Can't take ones' picture without taking the others'

The kiddos were excited to give Daddy his birthday present.

 I'm surprised neither of them spoiled the surprise of what we got Daddy (a new basketball!) 

We finished off the night by trick or treating at Boo at the Zoo! (more on that in another post)

Until next time...

Early Trick-or-Treating

We were up to visit the grandparents over the weekend, and since we won't be around for Halloween, we thought everyone would enjoy a little trick-or-treating fun!

Dallas was very insistent on the cat being in the picture.

We also went to see GG (Great-Granny)

The kiddos loved playing with the chalk at GG's apartment.

I thought this was a good one with Ma-maw

Next weekend we are dressing up again for Boo at the Zoo!  I hope the weather stays decent and that the kiddos enjoy it.

Until next time...
