Caved

Those that know me know that I pretty much hate Halloween.  I actually just went back and read my post last year about it and chuckled at the last paragraph... because they hassled this year to participate in Trunk or Treat at church.  Hunter has moved up into the children's ministry (1st to 5th grade) and he hears a lot of the upcoming events in the kid's service.  So there was no way for me to hide Trunk or Treat so....

I caved.
 

Yep, I caved.  They went to Trunk or Treat at church and then we met up Jessica's house with Jodi and her kids and took them to a few houses in Jess' neighborhood.  They then played at Jessica's house with Madi, Karson, and Connor until 8:40ish.  I am happy to say that I think there favorite part was just getting dressed up and playing at Jessica's house. 

Trick or Treating... Karson is the first one with the candy. I didnt get any pictures of our church's Trunk or Treat as I was too busy keeping up with the 3 boys in a parking lot with a crowd of people.  I actually did lose Hunter for a bit, but as Jodi pointed out there was a huge TV screen playing a movie.  One guess where Hunter was?!?! 

 

Hunter and Connor (as Spiderman) are next with Ashton and Shepherd still picking out their candy. 

I must admit- I love having a bagful of candy in house and I think they boys really did have a good time.  Another benefit was that I didnt have to have people ringing my doorbell begging for candy b/c I was with my kids while they were doing that to other people. 

The boys and I did still talk about this... holiday???.... and they know that I dont like it.  But, I think I have Trunk or Treating in my future for at least 8 more years...maybe.
