Trick or Treat!!

Halloween was full of fun and RAIN this year! BOOOO!! I can't believe just how much rain we have had this year....I think we are something like 15 inches ABOVE average? Crazy! Madelyn's last soccer game of the season got rained out this past Saturday morning (Halloween). We were so disappointed about that because believe it or not, she had become slightly more aggressive during the soccer games over the past couple of weeks and we were so hoping that this Saturday would be the day when she maybe would score a goal (after being strategically placed in front of the goal by the coach I should say...). But anyways....guess we'll have to wait until next year for that.

We were also supposed to have our Fall Festival at church on Saturday afternoon but guess what......it was cancelled due to rain as well. I think Justin and I were really the ones truly disappointed about this because we thought Madelyn would be sad but really, all she really cared about was: "Is it finally time to go trick or treating?" and "When can I put my 50's Girl costume on?".  Yep, she was just after the candy....who cares about all that other stuff!! So we loaded up and headed to Mom's house which is where we have gone every Halloween since Madelyn has been around. We always see a lot of people we know in her neighborhood and Madelyn has fun handing out candy to the HUNDREDS of trick or treaters who come by. Kaylee was also at Mom's house which made it even more fun for Madelyn!

Drew was a monkey for Halloween which we thought suited him just fine. He was a typical 11 month old during all the trick or treating....really not that into it! He mainly just wanted to play in the giant bowl of candy that Mimi had out. All in all, we had a fun night. We had a few sprinkles when we first went outside but then the sky cleared up and we saw a beautiful rainbow which was the highlight of Madelyn's night (she loves rainbows).

Visiting our friend Evan!

We met up with Mandy, Evan and Chloe to hit a few houses together....

Madelyn seems just a bit unsure about this haunted sidewalk leading up to a house!!

Trick or treating at Lance and Lore's

The perfect end to the day!! The rainbow!

Thanks for letting Kaylee trick-or-treat with you guys. She was upset at the thoughts that she would miss it because Riley and I were going to the UT game instead. She told me all about it Sunday. She had a blast with Madi and Drew! See you guys Sunday!!!
