happy halloween

Saturday evening we went to a trunk-or treat at a nearby church. They had a petting zoo, pony rides, a cake walk, a ton of carnival games, face painting and a couple of bounce houses. Madison got a ton of candy and even got her face painted. She waited very patiently for her turn at face painting, at least 20 minutes. Then sat perfectly still while they painted the flower. She was so excited about it and wanted to look in the mirror forever. The next morning she was very upset when it was mostly gone.
They only way we could get her to leave the trunk or treat was to tell her we needed to go home and see if there were trick-or-treaters at our house. When we got home, we didn't have much traffic. So Madison and I went next door to Stacy's and Terry's house. Once Stacy gave her some candy, she just walked right in the house. So we chatted for a while and said hi to their pet pig Oscar. And then went back to the house. We decided to try one more house, but then we saw a big group. They had a car pulling a trailer with 15-20 kids. So we followed them around the block and Maddie loved seeing all the kids in their costumes. And of course we got more candy then we need. But better than last year when we couldn't even get her costume on.
