And then of course today was Halloween. We started the morning with a big breakfast and I attempted to make "jack-o-lantern pancakes" (a.k.a. - pancakes with orange food coloring and a face made out of chocolate chips).
Then we were off to church, to which Molly insisted on wearing a princess dress. Of course that meant Paige had to wear one too. It was pretty cute to see Paige wanting to be just like Molly. And then this evening couldn't have been nicer for trick-or-treating. Check out this sunset!
We decided to take the kids to Christ Community Church (where Molly goes to preschool) where they host a huge Halloween carnival. They do "trunk or treating", where people decorate their cars and you go "trunk to trunk" to get your treats. Here's the kids just before we left. As you can tell, Paige was a little anxious to get going.
The church also had a TON of different bounce houses and games for every age group. We hung out in the preschool room and the kids played games to win more candy. The crowds were a little overwhelming at times, but the kids were pretty focused on getting more treats!
When we got home they all dumped their bags out on the floor and checked out their bounty. They rarely get candy and were so excited that we let them eat a bunch! Although I must say that Molly was equally excited to answer our front door and hand out candy to the people that came to our house.
And here's a little "before and after" that gives you an idea of what Garrett looked like after stuffing his cheeks full with M&M's. Yah... that's chocolate drool running down his face.
