A Haunting We Did Go

In true Bell family tradition, we spread out the Halloween happenings this year. Bode had a party and hayride at school. We had our church Trunk or Treat Thursday night, which i hear was fantastic. Sadly, I had to work and was on-call after work till 1am. This is what i consider our "true" Halloween celebration and was bummed to have to miss it. They had great games, a bounce castle and face painting that they boys enjoyed, topped off with the actual Trunk or Treat. Oh. And the fire department rolled in with a couple trucks. Bode got lots of extra attention since he was dressed for the part!

Last night we invited ourselves to Kristen's house and had a yummy dinner, the kids played and possibly had more fun handing out candy to trick or treaters than actually trick or treating (possibly. Not probably). They were cute in their costumes--Bode a fireman, Keegen a monkey. I decided to call Keegen an Ewok since he was using his glowlight necklace as more of a light saber and had multiple "battles" with a number of total strangers who were happy to play along. I had to tell him to knock it off when i saw that he was poking a few people, though. After some hot apple cider we called it a night.

Today has been candy-filled (i missed most of it since i had to go back to work for most of the day). We have two tired boys who are going to bed right now. It's 6:15 here. Hopefully they'll catch up on some sleep and NOT greet us at 5am with the (damn) time change...
