Halloween 2015

Saturday - October 31st
We went Trick-or-treating with our neighbors across the street.  The first street we went down (Century Drive) gave us so much candy, we had to go empty our bags before we went to anymore houses.  I was really surprised at how much candy the kids got on that street.  We ran into Jenny Walton and her family.  They said they always come and trick-or-treat down this one street then go home.  they get so much candy on this one road, they don't feel the need to go to any other houses.  Apparently, they have always done their trick-or-treating this way.  I was really surprised.  I had never heard of Century Drive until this year.  I remembered that before we moved in, Jennifer Francom had said something about how we live by the best street for trick-or-treating.  She was right.  They got a ton of candy down that street.

Alissa was with us for the first half of our trick-or-treating, then she left to go to Erin's house for a Halloween party.  She was frustrated, because she wanted to stay and keep trick-or-treating with us, but she didn't want to miss out on this party.  She ended up being the only friend that showed up, so that was a bummer.  She wished they could have gone trick-or-treating.
After Alissa left, we only trick-or-treated a little longer with our across the street neighbor's.  Ashley and her cousin, Alyssa, were getting tired, so they went home.  We ran into Sydney and she joined us for the rest of the night.  All night I was waiting to hear from Heather.  She was going to a party, but wanted to join us trick=or-treating when the party ended.  It ended later than expected, so we decided to cancel.  We went in to check out all our candy and wait to hear from Alissa, so we could go pick her up.

I decided to take a picture of the living room.  It's the only room in the house that has pictures on the wall now.  I love our living room.  I 'll love it even more when we get some furniture in it.

Before it was time to go get Alissa, Autumn came back over and asked us if we'd go to somebody in the ward's house to go through the haunted house they had made.  Sydney came with us.  The haunted house they did was pretty fun.  It scared me a lot.
Shortly after we got home from that, it was time to get Alissa.  Alissa called, but instead of asking me to pick her up, she asked if she could stay later.  I agreed to let her stay if the Beverlies would give her a ride home.  They said they would, so Alissa stayed later.  I had a hard time staying awake, waiting for her.  She came home happy.  She said they had a lot of fun, although she really wished she hadn't gone.  She really wanted to stay and trick-or-treat.  She's glad she went, so Erin wouldn't have to experience being devastated because nobody showed up.  She really did have a lot of fun hanging out with Erin.  She's just not ready to give up the trick-or-treating.
