We started at our Ward Trunk-or-Treat...well, it was two wards in fact...which made it difficult to eat. When we arrived the entire gym was packed, and there wasn't even room for the homemade chili I slaved over...(oh well, more for us). After waiting almost 20 minutes in hopes that someone would finish and stand up, we went into the hall to wait where we could sit down. It wasn't looking so good, so we decided to take our chili home and eat it real quick, and go back for the Trunk-or-Treating. We got there 20 minutes before it was supposed to end, and there were cars piling out of the parking lot...our kids were crushed...!!
On the way though, we had spotted a huge Halloween Party put on by D.A.R.E., which was free, so we thought we'd take them there...They had a lot of fun carnival-like activities...only...you had to stand in line for 30 MINUTES for EACH activity. After an hour and a half, our poor kids only had six pieces of candy in their buckets, and that was only because the Mayor was handing some out in the enormously long unorganized lines...it COULD have been an awesome activity...they set it up ALL WRONG though...maybe next year they'll ask me??
SO, we decide to take them Trick-or-Treating. After driving the neighborhoods not seeing ONE kid on the prowl, we called it a night...
Talk about a series of unfortunate events...maybe we should have dressed up as Lemmeny Snickets...hmmm...fabulous idea....
All the way home, I had the kids yell "Trick-or-Treat!!" and I just threw candy into the back seat for them. It wasn't exactly what they had in mind, but hey...they FINALLY got some candy...!!
We ended up going Trick-or-Treating on Sunday. It is a GREAT family activity anyhow!!! We go to my dad's neighborhood...we LOVE it there...!! The whole neighborhood just really gets into the Halloween spirit!!! It ended up being the BEST night ever!!! We all had so much fun...AND...their buckets were FULL...!!!
Our family...the "Party Poopers"(we forgot our party hats), Pirates of the Caribbean: Davey Jones, Jack Sparrow, and Elizabeth Swan, a monkey, and and Owl...
I made the Owl!! And even though I had NO idea what I was doing...I love it!!!
