trick or treat

We were able to go to our city's Halloween deal for kids again this year. Sam was so excited about it. From the bus ride there, to the candy, to the bus ride home he had a smile on her face.

there were a lot of rain clouds int he sky and the forecast called for rain, but that did not stop us (or the other 6000 people!)
and then it came, it came down and hard. Thankfully Kirk thought to bring the big camera
The line was long, though it did get shorter once the torrential rains came :) they were very smart, and allowed us to create lines in the firehouse so that we were not out in the rain as long.
it was a fun night despite the rain, they got candy and even books. Molly enjoyed this and would not allow me to hold her bag for her (ever) except during the bus ride. She saw IT, wanted IT and wanted everyone else to know she needed IT. Smart mama that I am thought, ok... I will make you a deal. fooler for candy... she called my bluff--- and WON!!! (she did not even have to think about the trade!! wow, can you say ADDICTION?!?!)
