Did Halloween Pass Already???

We had one of the most interesting Halloweens yet this year at the Siddoway home so we thought, although incredibly late, we would share a few memories with you.

I love the people down here because everyone loves Halloween and it shows. House decorations everywhere, parties galore, and people don't skimp on costumes. Well, except Nick and I this year! (I know we are party poopers, but let me tell you why!)

We started the weekend before Halloween with a ward Trunk or Treat with food, 2 haunted houses, games for the kids and of course the Trunk or Treat. It was Nick's birthday that night so we were partying for many reasons. That next Tuesday Nick and I decided to indulge in some cake that had been sitting out all night and day. Cake that Should Have been refrigerated. Late Tuesday night we were feeling it. So Nick and I got food poisoning Tuesday night and were sick most of Wednesday! Yes on Halloween!!!!! I felt so bad for my kids because mom and dad were down in bed. Thank heavens for parties! Sam had a party first thing in the morning with a little Halloween Parade. As soon as that was over we ran to a preschool party where pumpkins were painted. And both kids enjoyed a party that afternoon with their friends at Erin's house. It was a killer party with games, cookies, music, and ghosts. They had a blast!


Most kids after frosting their cookies wanted to take them home. Not my Sam. She licked the plate clean. We don't believe in letting treats wait at our house! :)

Cooper in his full getup at the party. Sam was a princess of course and my little Coops was her Knight. It was fun!

As we got ready for the big night I made the mistake of leaving our candy for the Trick or Treaters out and Cooper was enjoying a sucker before we ever left the house

This is his "Peeeeeeeeese" face!

Sam my little princess. She is my little poser and I love it!

As we left for the Trick or Treating, the helmet stayed home and was replaced by the sword!

All in all this was the funnest Halloween yet. Because of the yucky tummies that night we saved our traditional Flannery Chili and breadsticks dinner for Thursday and enjoyed Halloween Thursday as well! And although we still listen to our Monster Mash CD (Thanks Heidi) and it is now mid November, I have a feeling that Halloween will continue for quite a while at our house, or until I hide the CD and the costumes! Go Halloween!
