Halloween!!

I should start off by saying Nicholas was not happy about dressing up. He didn't want to be anything because he is Nicholas. We talked him into wearing a costume finally but he would not wear the mask.

We had plans to go out Trick or Treating with Dominick's brother Justin, his 2 kids, Dominick's cousin Blake, his 2 kids and our kids for like 3 weeks. We were in the car going to Justin's house as planned. Justin called and said he and his wife had gotten into a fight and the plans were off.

Awesome!

We had to stop by my Mom's and Dominick's Grandma's house anyway which are in the same area as Justin.

So, we called Blake and told him plans had changed and we were now meeting at our house. Justin was not coming so it was just us, Blake and the 4 kids. Which worked out because our Neighborhood goes all out for every holiday. We went around the block and the kids (ages 2, 3, 4 and 5) had more than enough candy. Plus the last 3 houses we went to scared all of the kids and Blake. They all had fog machines and went all out on decorations. I didn't bring the camera of course. They had a guy in the front yard with a chainsaw, a huge flashing devil guy and a bunch of other scary stuff.

We went back to our house and the kids ate candy and played. Dominick, Blake and I just hung out talking and stuff. The kids were all passed out by 10:30 (which is very late for our kids). We would have rented movies or had something planned if we knew we were going to end up at our house. Oh Well! It was still fun and the kids had a blast playing and waking up in the morning and playing some more.

It would have been nice to see Justin and the kids but what can you do.
