Halloween

 We had a super great, super fun Halloween.  Friday night our church had a "trunk-or-treat" party.  Jessica was only 2 the last time she'd been trunk-or-treating, so she had no idea what she was supposed to do.  Chandler had never even been trick-or-treating before.  They both figured it out really fast.  Their candy haul just from that was impressive.  Saturday night was the big night though.  Since our city is about 30% LDS or so, it's not at all uncommon to do trick-or-treating Saturday night when Halloween falls on a Sunday.  I think anyone who doesn't have a problem with Sunday trick-or-treating is just happy to have two days worth.  Chandler could not believe what was happening.  He's usually a pretty reserved guy, but man, pretty quick he was the first one up to each door with his bucket held out, giggling.  I kept asking them if they were cold or ready to be done.  Nope.  We were out there over an hour.  I had to drag them back inside.  I actually confiscated a good chunk of their candy to use as stocking stuffers.  Oh yes I did.
