We have had a heck of a Halloween Week...AND it's not ever Halloween yet!
We had Family Night Pumpkin Painting Monday, the Hershey Parade on Tuesday, Tracen's school Parade and party on Wednesday...and today is Thursday and we just got done Trick or Treating (don't worry...that's what they do here...they set certain days to trick or treat AND you can only go 6 pm - 8pm...I love it!) Still coming up...Hershey Park in the Dark trick or treating tomorrow...A Halloween Party Saturday and the Hummelstown Parade on Monday actual Halloween...I'm tellin' ya...Halloween is bigger than Christmas here...I think?

OOOOHHHHH!!! My personal favorite...lol
This year TRACEN HAD TO BE FRANKENSTEIN...once he got it in his head, there was no turning back...but he didn't want those poky things to be on his neck...oh sweet Tracen you are particular!

PS...I could be biased...but that is one AMAZING Frankenstein and what I love about it is it was one that not everyone had...all the little boys around wanted to be super heroes...fine and I love that Tracen wanted to be his own thing! I love different costumes...and I love getting creative with them!
My little Frank and Captain A-merica!
Logan and I got to help at Tracen's school party. He is doing so well in school right now and I absolutely love his teachers Mrs. Hoover and Mrs. Maddison. They are awesome...their classroom is a well-oiled machine...the kids know what their jobs are and they are executed perfectly. I am truly impressed!

In Pennsylvania they do Trick or Treating the Thursday before Halloween...I don't know what they do if Halloween lands on a Thursday and I don't exactly know why they chose Thursday??? The nice man at the post office was trying to explain something about things would be bad the night before Halloween....I don't know...it's just what they do. The other thing is they put a time frame on it...6pm - 8pm sharp. Once 8pm hits...police patrol the streets and tell people to go home. I actually kind of like it because you can close up shop...get kids to bed and be done for the night.
So this year Chris is on night float so he didn't get to go Trick or Treating with us...so we went with our friends the Sorensons (their dad was on call...lame medical people...boo!) I had to leave a bowl of candy on my porch...People, I way over prepare...this is said bowl of candy AND I had more. But to my credit...all candy was bought with coupons AND I was going to go to a trunk or treat Tuesday but ended up going to the parade instead...anyways...definitely was prepared and luckily people don't ever just take one or two like the sign says...they take HANDFULS so I don't have too much left!

Ben, Max, Tracen, Larissa, Annie
Our Trick or Treating adventure lasted all of about 45 minutes before it was too cold (ps...it rained all day long and how lucky were we that it didn't rain the entire time we were out trick or treating...score!) and little boys were tired. So we came to my house and as soon as I announced that we were going to watch Disney's Halloween Treat the mood immediately changed and we had happy kids again! During our said adventure however, our friends the Dalling's joined the crew. The Dalling's parked in our driveway to Trick or Treat with us and they drive a nice white mini-van...don't worry...you need to know this.
So quote of the night: we head home and are walking toward the garage...of course the kids are in front of us excited to get out of the freezing cold and watch their movie and Marie, Leslie and I are behind chatting. Out of nowhere Logan come running towards me, "Mom! Mom! Are you so excited...you got a new car! How exciting! I love it is is so cool"...and so forth as he is pointing to none other than the white mini-van parked in the drive-way that belongs to the Dalling's. Ha! love it! He was SO EXCITED...I couldn't break his little heart and tell him it wasn't ours...so I just acted excited and we giggled at his innocence.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

How fun! They did that in Illinois too... trick or treating on a certain day for the certain village or town you lived in. I liked it. Ours was always in the afternoon too, before it got dark and older kids could cause mischief. Looks like you guys had fun!! Cute costumes too!! Love the Frankenstein!! :)
FUN FUN FUN FUN all the week long-- HOORAY! Love the costumes. You have a decorating flair. I just throw candy in a bowl -- you make it look like a centerpiece. Keep the pictures coming and the blog current -- I LOVE IT ALL!
So fun! I loves both the boys costumes! They looked awesome. But I have to say Tracen looks amazing! I can't wait until little P can do fun halloween activities! :)
