Halloween is one of my favorite holidays each year, especially since having kids. I love seeing all the cute costumes and the all the candy of course :) Josh and Audrey were Hershey's kisses this year and I might add that they looked yummy enough to eat.

We started off the morning with a visit to Daddy's office for some trick-or-treating which was fun. He gave pumpkin Snicker's bars - pretty fancy! Then we headed to the mall for some more trick-or-treating, but were so disappointed because no one was handing out candy. I guess ever since 9/11, the mall quit this tradition because of the liability. What is this world coming too!! But, all Josh wanted anyways was a strawberry banana smoothie from Orange Julius. Whenever we go to the mall, Josh's one request is "smoofie please?"

All pooped out, we headed home for lunch and naps to get all rested up for the big evening ahead. At the last minute, the Arendt's called and invited us to join in on their festivities and Josh was totally pumped about that. So, we headed down there about 5:30, ate dinner with the Arendt's, and then and handed out candy to all the trick-or-treaters. Trick-or-treating (for Josh) lasted about 10 minutes because of the cold weather. After two houses, he was ready to come in with rosy red ears and cheeks. BRRR was it cold!! They did head outside into the cold one more time though to visit the Haunted House down the street. Josh came back and the word “BOO” had a completely new meaning. Mommy even screamed went she went through it.

For the rest of the evening, Josh, Elizabeth, Cassie and Audrey played toys, answered the doorbell and handed out candy (eating one and then giving one :)).
