HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2008

It was a beautiful Halloween this year. Temperature was in the 60's, so Duane & I were able to sit outside handing out candy & beanie babies without wearing a jacket until later in the evening. We bought 10 bags of candy & gave out most of it (all except for a few of my favorites, which I had hidden!) to about 100 trick-or-treaters that came by. We also gave away about 40 beanie babies that we still had from Morgan & Madisons collection. (don't tell them ok?!) The kids just loved that...not sure how the parents felt...but I didnt care, I GOT RID OF THEM!! YAH!!


Riley had to go inside, he got too excited when the kids came up for their treat. He was pretty bummed!



End of the night...all of the beanies are gone, & only a few pieces of candy left. This is the first year I didn't have any of my children trick-or-treating. Madi had to work & Morgan was at a college Halloween party. The end of an era! ; ( Feel bad for me...I didn't get
any free candy!!!

I do feel bad for you! Just like when we were talking on the phone...we are in completely different stages of life w/ the young ones...you are all kicked back, waiting for trick-or-treaters. I'm running around like a chicken w/ her head cut off getting her kids from here to there. But, I do get the free candy. :)
