Happy Halloween!


Wow, what a busy day today was, Gabe had a Halloween party at school, and got way too much candy to start things off, he was "high as a kite" all afternoon thanks to all the junk they fed him for snack!

This year Gabe was "Spiderman" and and Sophia was a "tiger cub", the little head piece only stayed on 30 seconds tops...just long enough to get the picture!

Around 5:30 we all got together at the creamery to meet up with all the employees and their families that we were going to go trick-or-treating with...I think it ended up being like 15 of us all together. We drove to Frederick and went to this neighborhood that we had heard gives out lots and lots of candy! Tony had Daisy Mae on her leash and he kept up with Gabe, Arron and Megan, while I stayed towards the back helping with Samuel and Sophia. Kate, Ben and I took turns walking them up to the houses. Sophia was only interested in lolipops, at one point she stopped in the middle of the sidewalk, sat down, and emptied out her pumpkin on the ground took the lolipops out of it and left the rest lay...and when we told her she still had more houses to go to she threw a tantrum right there, she was done trick-or-treating it was time to eat lolipops!

Gabe had practiced all afternoon saying "Trick-or-treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat, if you don't, I don't care I'll pull down your underwear," but I never though he would have the nerve to actually say it, but towards the end of the night the boys were getting pretty rowdy and I heard them chanting it as they were going door-to-door!

I think it was a fun night had by all, and a pillow shack of candy later we should be all set until next year!

Happy Halloween!
