We had a nice Halloween weekend and enjoyed several fun activities with friends and also just relaxing at home. Our adventures started with a party at Matt's work on Friday afternoon. Grace got all dressed up in her bunny costume and headed over to see other kids and Daddy. She was hopping all over the office and loving being around other people. The highlight was a little girl dressed as the devil (about 3) who kept chasing Grace around because she wanted to hug the bunny. I couldn't stop laughing at the scene.
Saturday we just spent the day at home and enjoyed a nice walk around the neighborhood. We were invited to a couple of parties that we were unable to attend because we didn't get a babysitter. While they would have been fun I didn't mind spending the evening at home with Matt.
Sunday we had a fun morning at church. All the kids were dressed up and most of the adults went out into the community to do some service projects. I stayed back with the kids and several other moms/volunteers. It was fun watching the kids run around church and play together for a little longer than their usual 1 hourish Sunday morning class.
Sunday evening we invited our small group to come hang out and trick or treat with us. Only a couple of families came and we had a blast. Grace got to trick or treat with her friend Elliott. He was a good example of saying trick or treat and thank you at every house we went to (which was only about 6). Grace however left her bucket behind, emptied it on peoples doorsteps, tried to enter (and even succeeded once) people's homes, and didn't really get was going on. I only took 1 picture all weekend and it is posted above.
Grace and Elliott look adorable, as usual!
