Happy Halloween!

On Halloween night we had dinner at Qdoba with our friends Mandy and Michael and their three boys. Drew is in Reid's preschool class and Noah is the same age as Elyse. They will be in preschool together next year. Isaac is 10 months old.

Drew is a shark and Noah is Tigger the Tiger.

Elyse wanted to be a princess because Sydney was a princess.

Princess Sydney starts eating Halloween candy before we even started.
We all went to our church where they were doing Trunk or Treats. This is a great way to trick or treat with younger children because there is not as much walking and no traffic to watch for. It is so fun to see how each family decorates their trunk for the event.
Reid dressed up as Darth Vader.

He got sick of the mask really fast and most of the time wore it on the top of his head like a hat.
I tried to take the kids into the light by the church for a cute shot. As you can see that did not work in my favor. I rarely get a shot that all three of them are looking and smiling at the same time.
After we finished at church, we went to Drew's neighborhood to do some traditional trick or treating. We only went to a few houses which worked out great. As we were in the neighborhood, we saw Maddie (Dorothy) who is also in Reid's preschool.
We finished the night back at Mandy and Michael's house. The adults played a round of Euchre while the kids all played in the basement. It was a busy but fun night out. Now if only I could keep my hands out of the candy bowl!
