Happy Halloween!

After MUCH debating, we decided to be Mickey and Minnie Mouse this year! The kids LOVED their costumes, as did I! They were SO cute! But not so great at being photogenic! Much TOO silly and TOO busy!

I was SO happy to find these little Mickey Mouse jack-o-lantern candy buckets!
And SO happy when I took a chance and waited to buy them on Halloween and got them for half price!

This was the first year we actually went trick-or-treating. We have always just gone to a Fall Festival at a church somewhere. We were actually planning on doing that again this year, but we realized Saturday morning that all the churches were having their festivals on Friday night.
So we decided to give trick-or-treating a try.
Our friends, Jack and Mary Coleman, came over for dinner and joined us.
When we walked up to the first house, the kids were a little gun shy. They wanted me to come with them and ring the door bell. But as soon as someone put candy in their bucket, they said...."Let's go to the next house!" They got really good at spotting the houses that had lights on, and even got brave enough to start going up to all the doors by themselves. It was a lot of fun!

Just look at them....I SO wish they could stay little forever!
