Trick or Treat


Emma and Ethan had a lot of fun on Halloween. We have family fun night which means we get our favorite take out pizza and buy a movie. This year we bought Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3D which the kids thought was very cool. They liked wearing the 3D glasses. And our Clear Play DVD player cut out any tacky parts! :) While I took the kids around and greeted our neighbors Mario handed out candy and outreach packages from our church. He was very surprised at the response he got from the kids. They were excited. He was surprised because several of the kids were more excited about getting a copy of the new testament of the Bible than their candy. We gave out around 100 Bibles so we had a lot of kids. I bought 6 bags of candy and we had just a few pieces left by 8:00. I also enjoyed getting to go inside some of the estate size homes on our block. Our house is one of the smaller houses on our block. I love old homes and all the character that comes with them. So many of our neighbors gave us quick tour and I realized that our neighbors are all very friendly. That to me was a special treat!!! And the homes were incredible! That's what I like about old neighborhoods because you know you'll have at least 1 thing in common with your neighbor, an appreciation of older homes. The weather was so nice our whole street was just full of little kids. :)
