Halloween fun

Last weekend we went to a fall festival at the church where Grant goes to MDO. I invited a couple friends of mine and we all had a lot of fun. Grant especially liked his first pony ride and holding hands with Elizabeth, my friend's daughter.


Sunday was trunk-or-treat at our church and Grant had a great time playing all the little games at each trunk. Unfortunately Luke wasn't too happy and so my hands were full and not many pictures were taken. I had ordered Luke's scarecrow costume a couple weeks ago and as of Sunday (the trunk-or-treat) it still hadn't come. So, I had to put him in Grant's old frog costume. He hated it and I ended up taking him out of it half way through.

The afternoon of Halloween we went to a neighborhood party. Grant was more interested in eating all the sweets that were there while all the other little boys were running around. The boy LOVES to eat. He also enjoyed watching the other kids bob for apples. He wasn't too interested in giving it a try himself. I enjoyed meeting some of my neighbors and they all are super nice. We did go trick-or-treating down our street. I think we were the first ones out because I knew Luke wasn't going to last too long since it was getting close to his bed time. Grant loved the trick-or-treating experience and after going to each house he would say, "Mommy, can we go to another house?" Poor little guy is studdering really bad these days and he couldn't get out the words "trick-or-treat" or "thank you." He tried though, bless his heart. I was shocked when he went right up to this ghost. He's seen it for weeks and always says, "That's scary Mommy."

Unfortunately Mike has missed all the festivities but he'll be home tomorrow (hopefully)!!
