My kids dressed up this year in honor of the happiest place on earth — Chick-Fil-A!
(Stinks for you Disneyland!)
A special thank you goes out to B — the only one who could get Sissy excited about wearing a hat all night long. (And amazingly — she did!)
Scout and Navy were in sync — and loved being the cow and chicken.
I’ll even brag that this wasn’t a planned hug for the camera.
This is pure, unadulterated, genuine love.
But it didn’t last long.
And we were all quick to realize that Icka’s sign that said, “NO!” had a double meaning.
Because Halloween is on Sunday this year, we did the bulk of our activities on Saturday. The main event was the Trunk-or-Treat at church, and a wee bit of trick or treating at unsuspecting neighbor’s homes before we left. The good news is that all of the neighbors were dying over them, and gave them handfuls of candy.
We went on to Micah’s parent’s house to trick or treat. They loved the little stinkers, and we snapped a cute picture with them and Great Grandpa.
“NO!” was really starting to manifest itself — and we hadn’t even gotten to the party.
When we got there, Micah and I stuck on our costumes, and we were ready to party!
I did feel a little bad when Scout was amongst his friends who were all tough guys, and he was a cow. But I am helping him develop thick skin at an early age.
The night ended with the Trunk-or-Treat. The best stop was obviously at Jim Zimms, who gave candy out of a grocery bag.
Can’t you just tell what Scout is thinking:
Thanks for the generous offering Jim.
An entire mini box of nerds that I could already get at my own car!
What a rip off artist!

It was a fun time.
The kids loved it.
I was happy with their costumes.
It was a fairly simple ordeal.
And best of all — we ended the night….as best friends.

Happy Halloween!

I have an entire year before I have to think up more outfits.
But … I am already considering dressing Icka up in some way, shape or form as “YES!” next year.
