Once again, I am a week behind on the blog. Last Sunday was Halloween and it was a day filled with family Halloween fun, leaving no time for blogging.
Since Halloween was on Sunday this year, we had some mixed feelings in the family about trick or treating. We decided to have a cousin gathering earlier in the day and leave the trick of treating decision to each individual family. We met in the park, divided into two groups, and made Halloween movie trailers. Afterwards we went to the Brown's for a viewing party.
After our viewing party, the families all went their own ways. Merrick went to baseball tryouts (he made the select team-yahoo!) and the rest of us went to visit some old neighbors. Later, we met up for dinner with the Ioapos and went trick or treating with them.
I mostly neglected to take pictures, but I did take a few of Elsie and I earlier in the week at our preschool party and Emily took one of all my kids before we headed out. This year, Merrick was an identity thief, Carrigan was an angel, and Elsie was a Carebear. We did our usual tick or treating route and while the crowds were lighters than usual, the candy was plentiful.
Since I am behind a week, just one thing from this week. Jeremy won tickets to the Blazers game at work this week. There was some debate about who would be his plus one, but in the end I decided to let Merrick go. They had great seats and a great time, even though some of the big stars were out. While they were gone, the girls and I got messy with a "rainbow snow" kit. It was a lot of fun but super messy AND since the kit makes 2 gallons of snow, we have just scratched the surface. I will have to come up with a plan to reign in some of the mess next time.
