Trick Or Treat!

We have been ready for this night ALL week! So the kids were pretty excited to finally get to go trick or treating tonight! Technically we are one night early, but since tomorrow is Sunday, tonight is the night to trick or treat! After Nick got home from work, we ran some errands and picked up a Jack-o-lantern Pizza from Papa Murphy's for dinner. Then we got the kids ready to go! And got the candy all ready to pass out!


Even Nick put on his costume to go trick or treating with the kids!!!


It had been cloudy all day and I was hoping to get out and trick or treat before it started to rain. I was at least able to take a few pictures!
And then minutes later it turned into a HUGE rain storm!!!

We thought about waiting it out, but it didn't seem like it was going to stop anytime soon. So we figured out our only options were to trick or treat and get SOAKED or at least go see if there was a trunk or treat at the church that maybe we could join another ward in doing so we could minimize how wet we got. So we piled into the van and ran over to the church, and sure enough another ward was doing a trunk or treat, but they decided to do it inside because of the weather. So Nick walked around the gym with the kids while I handed out our candy. I was happy that the kids were able to get some candy and weren't freezing and wet while doing it! This was the only picture I took while we were there.

After we ran out of candy we headed back home. By this time it was still raining, but not nearly as hard. I dropped Nick and the kids off at the top of the block so they could do some trick or treating in the neighborhood while I ran to Kmart to get some more candy to hand out to kids that were brave enough to trick or treat in the rain. Shortly after I got back and after passing out candy to a few trick or treaters the kids made it home and they were SOAKED!!! They didn't make it too far in the neighborhood but far enough to get wet and cold. So after we got them out of their costumes they enjoyed some hot cocoa and marshmallows to help warm them back up!

Carson enjoyed the rest of the evening passing out candy to trick or treaters and we watched the Monsters vs. Aliens Halloween show on tv. We also played a hand of "Go Fish" using a little set of Princess playing cards Kaylee got trick or treating. It was a fun evening, even though the weather wasn't the best. We made the best of it and I think we got enough candy to last us until Christmas!
