This year, Halloween has been very exciting for us. We have been very busy with activities, but still have had time to fit in festivities. We have been watching "spooky" shows that Sam and I grew up watching at Halloween time, like "It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown", "The Addams Family", "Hocus Pocus", & "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." The kids think they are great! On Wednesday, we went to the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch. The kids really enjoy going every year, even the big kids! The best thing is it's free!

On Thursday night, I took the kids and Carson to Boo on Ballard, in downtown Wylie. What a crazy mess! We got word that there were 4,000 people down there. I believe it too! It was so crowded it took 10 minutes to go from one trick-or-treating table to the next. We will most likely by-pass this event from here on out.

Saturday before Halloween, we went to our church's Trunk-or-Treat. This year they had the cars parked normally in the parking lot, instead of the usual circle, which allowed more cars to participate. It was so much fun. Brianna dressed up like a witch. Nate was a soldier, since he could not wear a mask, Natalie was a "Bat Princess," William was a spooky skeleton, and Alex was a monster.
