HALLOWEEN!!

What a crazy, weird, random day. Today is Halloween and I feel as if instead of savoring it we kind of just rushed through it. Always so busy. All of this anticipation leading up to it (for the girls) and now it's over! We went to Camille's preschool today for their Harvest Festival which was kind of a disappointment (!). I guess I probably am just expecting too much - it is, after all, only a preschool! My only experiences thus far have been in a more organized, bigger public school setting. Anyhow, the girls had fun and got to run around for a little while. Claudia and George came over after nap-time to see our house and hang with the girls. They brought along some little outfits for them as gifts, which was sweet. After they left, Steve and Jennifer came over for dinner along with Kimberly, Allison, Eddie and Allison's mom. Dinner, then trick-or-treating with all the kiddos. The neighborhood was less than "poppin'", but I suppose times are just changing. I seems like when I was a kid there were so many other kids out! Today was just a lazy Halloween, I guess, thrown into the chaos of the start of the holiday season just a week after these crazy fires happened here. Just kind of a strange day. Well, the kids looked CUTE and had a great time, were super excited for the CANDY and didn't even throw a tantrum when we told them they could pick out 4 pieces and we would get rid of the rest :) A little bribery helps, I suppose - tomorrow we will go shopping for a toy in place of the candy that they traded us. Here are more photos!
