Trick or Treat x2

Our kids love to trick or treat.  Wait, actually Kaelin loves to trick or treat. Hailey loves the first half of it, and then is tired.  Logan could care less. Every year we head to Grove City to trick or treat on the Saturday before Halloween, with Justin's Mom's family, where he used to trick or treat.  Usually it is chilly, and sometimes misty.  This year the first half of the route was good, the second half was WET! Hailey gave up and had to be carried.  Logan was done about 3/4 of the way through - mostly because he wanted out of the stroller to play.  Kaelin could have kept going!!!

The cousins.

Kaelin - Our little Snow Princess - posing as always and loving the rain and trick or treat.  Just for the record, shortly after this, I made her put her winter coat on.

Usually on Halloween night Justin takes the girls around our neighborhood to trick or treat, while I hand out candy.  This year, because it was so wet, and we had already spent 1 wet evening trick or treating, we were very grateful for our church.  They were supposed to hold a trunk or treat.  Thankfully, because of the weather, they decided to hold it indoors! YEA!!!  So we got the kiddos dressed up - the girls even got a bit of make up (this only happens at Halloween in our house).  Members of church volunteered to sit throughout the halls and let the kids trick or treat.  It was awesome (and warm!). Then they also took the kids pictures and promised to send a copy to our house!

(Like the blankets and pillows on the mantle? No more emergency room visits for Logan...

at least not for diving into the fireplace bricks!)

 In the church's gym, there were 3 inflatables (an enclosed house, a jousting inflatable-open jouster, and a big inflatable slide) set up for the kids to play on.  The girls immediately lost their costumes and ran to play with friends.  They also had popcorn, coffee and hot chocolate for refreshments!

Logan kept spinning around and around to the music playing over the speakers.  I was surprised how well he did in his costume.  Didn't try to take it off at all!  I finally took the top half off (its as heavy as a winter coat), because he was getting warm.

This is one that has the pillars 2 people can stand on and then beat each other (jousting).

 While no one actually jousted (that I saw), because there were so many kiddos, 

K wanted to hold up the big stick.

Logan meeting Cubbie.  He didn't take the candy, but he did give Cubbie 5!

He wasn't scared, 

but he also wasn't completely impressed when Cubbie picked him up to take a picture.
