Halloween

I am not big on Halloween but I love to dress my kids up and hand out candy. This year was nice because they had a better idea of what was going on. At least they knew that if they went to a house and said trick-or-treat they would get candy. Skyler this year was a ninja. He is so full of energy that it seemed to fit his personality but I could not get him to keep his bandanna to stay on his head. Kaitlyn was suppose to be a fairy but she had other plans. As I was putting her wings on she turns around and says ,"look mommy I'm a butterfly." I laughed so hard. I can't believe how clearly she talks. Sentences are becoming an every day occurrence. I love it. Anyway, as we were waiting for Dan to get home to take the kids trick or treating, we were already being hit with trick-or-treaters. The kids were so helpful. I don't know what was more fun for them, handing out the candy or actually going door to door to get candy. They would stand at the window just waiting for some group of kids to knock at the door. Oh, how I love my children. They bring so much joy into our home. They sure know how to get a laugh out of their parents. Halloween was much more fun this year then last year. Kids make life more interesting. As soon as their daddy got home they where ready to beat down the door to get out and do their own trick-or-treating. They didn't even wait to tell me good buy. They just took off with their daddy. They defiantly knew what they wanted. They didn't go more then a few blocks but man did they bring home a lot of candy. I think if I had let them they probably would have eaten all of their candy that night. They would have been so sick. Thank heavens for baths because that was the only way to get them to change their minds about getting into all of their candy. So that was the Erickson's Halloween.
