Halloween

This year halloween was pretty fun. We had dinner with a group of friends then walked around their neighborhood to knock on the doors of strangers and threaten to trick them if we didn't get a treat. Well, fortunately the neighbors were all prepared and had loads of sugar waiting for kids dressed in cute costumes.

Here's what our hooligans looked like..

I mean really...if they hadn't gotten a treat, what would their trick have been?

Well, thankfully, there was no need to find out.

After returning to the house we snacked and began the next phase of the night..passing out candy to the big kids..

Tyson the Football Player and Jalen the Pirate set up post at the door while Emery supervised the handing out of candy. They all had a good time and we hope that this will become our annual family tradition! Thanks Clarks for hosting us!!

It's so good to have good friends...

And the boys went camping...

I went fishing with my daddy and I caught some fish and then I went to the camping spot. We ate the fish and after that we ate s'mores and put out the fire. I got hot water and poured it on the fire to put it out. And..then it got dark and we went to sleep. And that's my story.
