Robert, Kaylee, and I went to our ward Halloween party and Trunk-or-Treat on Saturday evening and had a lot of fun! It was a bit crazy getting our costume's together, cooking for the chili contest, and getting the stuff to decorate the trunk of the car. But we did it and eventually got to the party.
There were actually a lot of people there
Here are all three of us.....not sure exactly what Robert and I were....
but Kaylee was an adorable little bee
Kaylee and Robert
She was very interested in the bouncy house, and would have loved it if there were a ton of crazy kids in it who would have plowed her over.
so she just got to watch from outside.
We did the "spook walk" a few times
first with daddy
They gave out tickets for playing and winning at the games and then had a prize/treat table where you could buy things. Kaylee really liked these little tops so we got her two.
Then she got to try to eat them while Robert tried to get them to spin.
We all headed out to the cars for the Trunk or treat which was crazy! There were a ton of children and they all ran from car to car asking for demanding candy. Most of them were pretty polite about it, but others made you want to take the candy back. Robert and I took turns walking Kaylee from car to car, and made sure that she said (signed) "thank you" for every piece of candy she got. She had fun running from car to car, and really liked looking into her pink pumpkin bucket full of candy.
Then she came back and helped hand out candy from our spooky trunk.....
I now understand why parents dread Halloween night. Kaylee was so wired from the few pieces she got to eat that it took her almost an hour to go to sleep for the night. Then she was tired, cranky, and craving more sugar the whole next day. I think next year she may be rationed to 1 piece of candy the actual evening of Halloween.
I can't wait for next year! I am already thinking of unique costumes we could do for her, and group costumes we could do with the three of us and the two dogs. It will be SO fun!
