Halloween 2012

Wednesday - October 31, 2012
The kids got to wear their Halloween costumes to school this year.

We went trick-or-treating with Brinley's friend, Bethany.  She lives in Fridal Heights.  The kids had fun, but they didn't seem as excited as they normally are when we go trick-or-treating.  There was somebody dressed up like a creepy clown, carrying a knife and waundering around the neighbor hood staring at everybody.  It was really freaky.  I was very scared, but I played it cool so the kids wouldn't freak out.  I really didn't like it. 

After trick-or-treating there, we decided to go to our old neighborhood.  The kids were so excited!  They had a lot more energy and were as excited as they normally are on Halloween.  This was our first Halloween since we moved.  The kids really miss our old house.  They talk about it all the time.  Our first stop when we got there was at the Beverly's house to see if we could find Erin and go trick-or-treating with her.  We've gone trick-or-treating with them every year since they moved in.  Erin had already left, but I knew their usual route, so it didn't take us long to find them.  Trick-or-treating was so much better after we found them and everything was how we were used to it.  Change is really hard.  I wonder what we'll do next year.  I wonder if we'll head over to the old neighborhood again.

Here's a few pictures of the kids after we got home from our trick-or-treating fun.
