We Should Buy Stock In Disney

And if you are wondering why just look at the girl's Halloween costumes. We have Aurora-Sleeping Beauty, Jasmine, and Minnie Mouse. And in case you are wondering what a banana is doing in the photos, that is actually our dog Gracie! But getting 3 girls and a dog all in costumes to look at the camera and stand still is next to impossible, so this is the best I could do. The girls had a wonderful time trick-or-treating last night. Our neighborhood goes all out. So many orange lights up, dry ice, sound effects, and tons of blow up decorations, not to mention all the other creepy hanging things and graveyards we saw!

The girls were pretty brave up until Halloween night. All this month their favorite thing to do was to walk around the neighborhood looking at all the "scary" decorations. But last night in the dark was a different story. We started to walk up to one very decorated house and all of a sudden loud music played that whahh sound and lights came on a decoration. It was creepy! The girls screamed and Karis dropped her candy bucket which went flying everywhere. All 3 took off running so fast. I of course was laughing hysterically. After that they would only go up to the non scary houses. They also had tons of fun being home and passing out candy to the trick-or-treaters. Something new for them since we didn't get many in our neighborhood in the Burg! It was a really fun night and the best part was coming in from the cold, turning on the fire and getting cozy and letting the girls munch on candy. Avery is so funny, she would lick or bite a piece, change her mind and open a new one. Too many choices! Karis and Hailey of course ate their whole pieces. And I followed Helen Gene's advice (mother of 5 all grown up and healthy), "They are only little once, Halloween is once a year, let them eat whatever they want. They are kids for goodness sake!"
