Halloween, Halloween Trick or Treat!

No more candy please!! Remember when Halloween was just one night? When did it become a "season" of it's own? Hopefully, we have had our last night of tricks and treats until next year! We started the "season" with a fundraising event(see Clone Trooper pictues)which we were all supposed to attend on the 18th. Caroline took a tumble off of our bed that morning and Allen and I ended up with her in the emergency room all day. She is fine, she had 6 stitches and some Dermabond in her ear and she was healed within a week. We only wish the process of getting her stitched up had been so easy! Long story short...the only plastic surgeon available was at our fine inner city hospital "Shands" so after the 12 year old doctor sewed her up we were anxious to get out of there! Chase got to tag along to the event with the Haynes family:) Next up was the school "Book it and Bag It Literacy Character Parade." Star Wars was/is an actual book and Anakin was Chase's character of choice. He had a parade at school anf then we got to trick or treat through the halls that night and enjoy carnival games and activities as well. Caroline LOVED her 1st real trick or treating experience! You should have seen the look on her face when the 1st person put candy in her bag. She did not miss a stop and filled her bag to the top! The little stinker would not actually wear a costume, but she learned to say "trick treat!" One more Halloween party(which we did not bring the camera to), a school party and it was FINALLY the actual night! Caroline was happy to dress as a beautiful ballerina, Chase choose Anakin, Allen got another year out of his Darth Vader suit and we were off for more loot! Once again Caroline figured out real quick that this whole "trick treat" thing was a pretty good deal. Happy Halloween!
