Grandma Olsen came to visit us over this weekend and we sure loved to have her! I hope we didn't halloween her out ;-) I love this sweet picture of them reading together!
Our town has some fun halloween traditions. I like the scare crow contest on main street a lot! Friday there is always a trick-or-treat on main street and at the hospital. Last year we did main street and it was SUPER crowded, so we opted for the hospital instead, which was slightly less crowded, much shorter and completely indoors.

Saturday was our church trunk-or-treat and then we walked to the "pumpkin glow" at Fuller Lodge.
Our Bumblebee family :)

got tired of waiting in line,
so she sat down to scratch her head,
then wanted up.
I'm in love with this snapshot.
Can't resist how much she loves dumdums. :)
Avery started crying on the way home from over-tiredness. Through sobs, she asked dad if she could go to sleep. (like she had to ask). We "gave her permission" and she zonked immediately!
Monday was ACTUALLY halloween (though decorations were already taken down in town by monday, haha!). Trick-or-treating in the neighborhood is my favorite part!! This year we actually had our very own and real neighborhood for the first time; it was a sweet occasion.
We went with our neighbor friends again (that's Avery, Riley, Aiden & Ethan)! It was TOO much fun watching Avery have fun, shout 'trick or treat' & 'thank you', patiently wait her turn, say 'i got treats mom!', run with her friends, say 'come-on guys!' and such. It was funny being the parent this time, deciding whether to escort them to the door or wait on the curb and watch them do their thing. I was delighted.
As you see, she was a care bear tonight. We were out for 1 hour and 15 mintues. Perhaps that was 15 minutes too long because of the melt-downs at the end, but all-in-all, they did great!
Holy chocolate! Gee, she sure got the GOOD stuff. I don't remember my halloween pillow sack looking like this! :)

Those are the cutest bumblebees I've ever seen. I miss Avery :)
Fun times your candy loot probably didn't look that good because your parents probably had to "check it over" first. That is what happens to a lot of the really god stuff at our house. Hehehe!
