Halloween Recap

Delia was a bunny rabbit. If we put the hood up she couldn't see, so it stayed down most of the night! When we went trick-or-treating everyone wanted to give Delia more candy because she was so cute. They would tell her to take more from the bowl or pick out whatever she liked. I thought it was pretty funny because she's not even two and she ended up with more candy than her brother!

The Frank Family cousins, minus the Roberts - San Antonio Division, trick-or-treating at Grandpa's to begin the evening!

This was the candy the kids came home with. I couldn't believe it! We went to a neighborhood across the street and everyone was so generous. We went trick-or-treating with our neighbors and they knew all the right houses to go to! If I would've taken the kids on my own I think we would have gone to five houses, but the kids were having such a good time they didn't want to go home!

So today we had to decide what to do with all the candy. I couldn't keep it all because Delia would scream every second of every day for candy! So we offered to trade for the candy. The kids could pick what they wanted from some choices we gave them:

1. money for candy
2. go bowling (Joshua's choice)
   
3. pizza and movie night (Delia's choice)
   
4. go to the bookstore and pick out a new book

They got to pick out their three favorite pieces of candy and we are taking the rest to the soup kitchen.

When I was at the soup kitchen today we had a Mom and daughter drop off a ton of non-perishable items. When they had gone trick-or-treating last night they asked for food instead of candy for the food bank. I thought that was a great idea!

Happy Halloween

Serious pumpkin carving takes concentration.

The kids got pumpkin cookies from our neighbor this morning.

More pictures to come!
