I have always loved our neighborhood, but Halloween makes me appreciate it even more. We have a cookout each year down at the neighborhood park, then a hayride, and then loads of trick or treating fun. Several houses along the way even have treats waiting for the adults.

Sarah Ellen sat here for almost an hour eating with Doncie.
All that eating just wore her out. 
Here we go!
Snookie, Poppy, and Doncie held down the fort for us while we took the girls down the street. 
For the first few houses, Sarah Ellen would take candy out of her bucket and try to give it the people handing out candy. It didn’t take too long, though and she figured it out. 
Lily and Thomas didn’t need any time to figure things out. They were off. 
Lily with Mrs. Barbara. Barbara is our music director at church. She and Lily have always had a special little bond. Lily looks just like Mrs. Barbara’s baby girl did at her age. Her baby girl is now a freshmen in college.
Checking out the loot. 
I’m not sure if Lily, Ryan, and Cohen had more fun getting candy or passing out candy. They would run down to the trick-or-treaters giving them candy before they even had a chance to get up the steps. 
Our candy started to get low so I told Lily we were almost done. She ran inside and grabbed her candy bucket and started filling the candy for the trick-or-treaters. I love her generous spirit. 
I loved Halloween as a kid, but love it even more seeing it through the eyes of my children.
I got a seed Daddy. 
Anybody in there… 
Then their friends arrived and the pumpkins were left to the adults. Cameron free handed designs on each of our pumpkins and we began carving.
Mr. Chris promised not to sue us after falling through our deck. Yikes. 
Check out these cuties.
Time to show off our handy work. 
Mr. Jason recued Sarah Ellen after she decided the pumpkins were too “loud.”
But OH NO, his shirt is so much scarier!!!!
