For Halloween we didn't do too much during the day I guess I just forgot about things going on for the kids like at the library and stuff but it was okay because I ended up watching my sisters two youngest kids so she could go help out in her 1st graders class for their party then both my kids took really good naps! Rory doesn't usually take naps any more but I told her tonight we were going trick or treating and she didn't want to be tired and grumpy so she better take a good nap and it worked! They slept for a good 3 hours!
When Rory woke up she was ready to go but Paige wasn't quite as chipper as usual it took her a while to warm up to the idea or having to put a costume on.
In fact we tried at least 3 different costumes on and she was flipping out she did not want anything to do with any of it! I almost just let her wear her Halloween shirt and go like that be we tried one more, the "witches brew" pot and we had a winner! 
Rory ended up being a Hula Dancer but when asked the first few times what she was she kept saying a cheerleader because that was one of her other options, silly girl, but she finally got it right. 
We tried to go around our neighborhood first just to the people we know but couldn't find anyone at home until we knocked on one door and found all of them there so we abandoned that idea and just headed to Mike's brother's in laws house for their big bash they do every year. 
This is actually the first year that Rory has gone in willingly she is usually too scared by all their decorations. When we got there we went trick or treating again with her cousin Raiden and were actually successful this time. 
By the way Paige is a natural she was like 3 houses ahead of everyone else and I had to keep getting her and bringing her back to the group, she knew what to do and was just raring to go, it was way cute. After that we went back to the house to eat and visit with the rest of Mike's family and then headed over to my parents house
so the girls could show them their costumes too. Two of my sister came by while we were there and this is a picture of Rory and Paige with Heather's little girl Kathryn. I told Heather she had to be an angel because it would be just too perfect with all her blond curly hair and I think I was right, isn't she cute! 
Well we didn't get home and to bed before 10:30pm but it was a lot of fun and hey it only come once a year right, I hope yours was just a great!
