We had our annual Trunk or Treat at church last night. Normally, the members park in the parking lot, decorate their trunks, and pass out candy to the kids. It has been raining like crazy around here, though, so the candy was passed out in the auditorium!
The last two years, Bryon has missed the festivities because of work. He was able to make it last night which made things much easier! The kids were adorable and it was a good dress rehearsal for Halloween! Matthew's Bama football costume didn't make it in time because we had to exchange it for another size. He was happy being a Baylor Bear, though.
Today begins the great candy adventure. A few things usually happen during this time. First, the kids get in trouble for sneaking in to get candy. We have already been to the "naughty chair" once with ME this morning! I also hear things like, "But I am so HUNGRY for candy!" Also, I start separating. Reese's, Nestle's Crunch, Butterfinger, go in my pile (the candy theif comes while the children sleep!). Dots, Smarties, assorted other candies that are the messiest or worst for teeth, go to the redistribute on Halloween pile. The kids get their share of the rest!
Had a thought.

So cute! I think your "team" looks great!
They look great!
I thought of ME today when Katie said, "I want chockit. I want brownies" just out of the blue. I think they must be talking behind our backs!
That's a great family picture! And my goodness... your kids are PRECIOUS.... ME is so beautiful for such a tiny little girl. It looks like they're gonna have a fun halloween!
Looks like so much fun -- we are attending our first trunk of treats this Saturday night at the church we visited here in the neighborhood.
Loved all of their costumes!!!
Love the Bama cheerleader!!

I love the costumes. Halloween is so fun. I can't wait to have little ones to dress up someday.
ROLL TIDE!!!!!!
Please save some smarties for me!!!

My brother and I always used to "trade" candy after we went trick-or-treating. He never figured out that he was getting ripped off when I would give him two packs of sweet tarts (or some other fruity candy) for a mini snickers or 3 musketeer bar! I'm sure your kiddos will figure out the trade system someday!
There just isn't enough UT orange in those pictures!
