This was the first year both kids truly enjoyed Halloween. We went to our church's Halloween alternative and they loved the dinner there - popcorn, hot dogs, and nachos. Just thinking about that junk food makes my stomach turn right now. On Halloween, we started the night off trick or treating at the mall. Normally, the kids would complain about being too tired to walk. Nope, not last night! They were lugging around all their candy and managed to walk around the entire mall. How about that?! After we grabbed a bit to eat at the food court, we went home to trick or treat up our street. I was unsure how the kids would feel knocking on a stranger's door and saying "trick or treat", but they had fun. Then we went home and gave out candy. Char was a very good helper; she had a blast passing out candy. Unfortunately, some punks thought it'd be cool to steal our key light on the front door. What has the world come to?!

The kids really wanted Costco pizza (Yuck!)

"You have to wait a year, buddy." - Mom
Lucas wanted to go to HH this morning, so we did.
These two hooligans were screaming with joy during the entire ride
Best friends and worst enemies
Both were very proud to have climbed up this mountain on their own
