Bring on the Candy!



Eric points the way for the kids to get going and get that candy! After all, Mom and Dad usually get donations from the kids; they're so nice. Considering they each have a huge bag weighing probably 5 lbs each, they have plenty to spare. Joey was fun to see running to catch up to his siblings and walked during all the Trick-or-Treating. Everyone was tired at the end of the night. When I was a kid we would all dump our candy out, sort it and start offering trades. So it's fun to watch the kids do it now. All right, time to get back to laundry and cleaning. Bye for now!

.....Okay, so it's later and we just did a church Trunk or Treat. Yes, we needed more candy since the first bags just aren't quite full enough. Actually, this candy will be donated to the kids cousins who are in flight today to Nepal (their Dad works for the Gov. and they are going to live there) and are missing Trick or Treating. And also to their Uncle Gary who is in Iraq for a year. So it's for a good cause. Ethan won a prize for scariest costume; he thought that was cool!
The kids are holding candy bars all the way from Grandma Johnson in Utah, carrying on a tradition she enjoyed as a kid. She would go every year to a neighbor's house who would give away an entire candy bar. Thank you so much Mom, you are so fun!
