Halloween Part 2

Happy Halloween, again! 

Tonight we dressed up 

and headed out for trunk-or-treat.

Before the festivities began we stopped 

off to visit Nanny & Op.

It was nice to chat and chill...

all while munching on yummy candy. :D

When it was time to go 

I let Joseph drive to the Quick Stop 

at the end of the road.

Whew, talk about S-P-O-O-K-Y!

Finally we made it to the sight of the fun.

Nana & PaBill's church, Livingston Chapel

hosted a spectacular trunk-or-treat.

Theirs' was held behind the church...

in the cemetery.

That kicked the spook factor way up!

Here are the party animals now.

Joseph as a Bearcat Boy,

Nana & PaBill as Popeye & Olive Oil,

Addison Marie as Little Red Riding Hood

and James as a *glowing* radiation skeleton.

In classic PaBill form he set up a laptop in their trunk 

and had Popeye cartoons playing.

Once the kids had visited all the trunks,

it was time to enjoy the treats.

I think Claire didn't want to share Jo-Jo's sucker.

Look at that real tear!

What better way to work off that sugar high

than with a little playground action?

Addison was so proud that she went 

across the monkey bars

"All by myself!"

Aunt SaSa only helped, a little. 

That's it for us.

We're about to call it a night.

Thanks for joining in on our fun!

Halloween Part 1

Hi all,

Happy Halloween!

I'm proud to announce that 

with the help of my flashlight,

sensible flat shoes, 

and careful attention to where I was walking 

I made it through trick-or-treating on two good feet.

Thank you to my family {aka hecklers}

for keeping me focused. 

With Andy working we were

unsure of whether he'd be joining us,

so we kept our plans low key.

Well, that and the fact that Auburn was playing.

Luckily Andy made it home in time to 

adorn his AU game earphones and pumpkin hat.

Andy's Good-Buddy-Allen brought Steven

and away we went.

We made the rounds on our street 

but sadly most people weren't playing along.

So we loaded up,

and hit the ground running.

The boys love the neighborhood over by East Elementary.

Here's a glimpse of why.

Lots of the houses got in on the fun.

Look at James' beaming

as he prepares to beg for more candy.

As the littles were having good clean fun,

 these jokesters were lurking in the street.

Poor innocent Joseph just wanted to smile for a pic.

Some people ought not be let out of the house.

As we finished up our trek,

we ran into these Hallo-weenies

that came bearing gifts.

James said "Mom, did Boompa & Gigi

drive from Birmingham just to see us??

WOW, they must think we're really special!"

Of course son, you boys are really special. :)

After one more neighborhood we headed over
to see another set of grandparents...

the Franparents.

And of course there were more prizes for my little tricksters!

Once we made it home we it was time 

for one of my favorite Halloween memories,

digging through the loot!

We chillaxed in our jammy tales,

ate a late dinner

and enjoyed the Auburn game.

Thank you Lord for DVR's.

Last but not least 

I want to thank Big Daddy.

First for my Halloween tiara.

Isn't it the greatest?! 

But more importantly for sacrificing 

extra hours on call 

to be able to trick-or-treat with the fam.

That makes him the greatest Halloween treat of all!

Tonight we'll be going for Halloween Part 2.

We're heading to visit Nanny & Op
and then to Nana & PaBill's 

church for trunk-or-treat.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing in our fun.
Now do tell, 

what was your favorite part of Halloween this year?
