The kids got to have a trial run with their costumes on Thursday evening when our good friends ( and E's godparents) the Brownsbergers called to invite us to a faculty and alumni Halloween party at the University of Dallas...Chad's alma mater! We were very excited to see our friends and to have some fun!
It was a race to get the kids' costumes together. B was a target and, A was a crazy little clown. What fun all that paint was! It was messy and "itchy"...but oh so cute! E was a princess again. We're still working on J!
The kids had a blast. The college students run the event with trick-or-treating in the dorms, pumpkin decorating, cookie decorating, and even a haunted house (again in one of the dorm hallways). And that was only half of it...we left early to get the young 'uns to bed. The students did such a good job with this event. It was funny trying to imagine Chad as one of those students many years ago in those very buildings. Even more fun...imagining B as one of them in the future! Little J loved getting all that candy and was seen a time or two with an open piece in each hand! He kept opening his bag and showing me...saying, "CANDY!"
Of course, the kids can't wait to do it all again on Saturday!!!! We're going to Little D to celebrate with Chad's family. We'll be getting together for the traditional party at Great Grandma's house...pizza and trick-or-treating. Then it sounds like we are moving right along to November with our parents' church turkey dinner on Sunday! Boo! Gobble, gobble!;)
Let the fun begin! Or continue!!!!!!
