Happy Halloween...

So this was supposed to be our first year to have actual Trick-Or-Treaters!!!  Everyone we talked to from the new neighborhood told us it was crazy busy and to expect hundreds of kids to be roaming the sidewalks in their cute little outfits!  So naturally the husband and I got pretty pumped up for the big night!  We even went to Costco and bought TWO of their HUGE bags of candy!

Well first off, on our entire street there were MAYBE 8 houses with their porch lights on... NOT A GOOD SIGN!!  To top it off it was a school night, as you all are aware...  Needless to say I think we had about 20 Trick-Or-Treaters come to our door... in other words, that candy I mentioned before - we still have over 3/4 left!
See looks the same as the previous picture!!

At 7:00, I knew it wasn't looking good, so I started letting the kids pick their own candy from the bag and they were very polite only taking one or two pieces each.  So then I was telling them to "Take a handful!"  one cute puppy looked at me with saucers for eyes and in the cutest little voice said, "HANDFULS?!?!"

Our friends Travis and Kelly brought their boys 'Mario and Luigi'  So cute!

So needless to say our first holiday in the new house was a bust, but their is always next year!!  On the flip side, Nathan's students have a LOT of motivation to get the answers right!
