Halloween 2008

We are on sugar highs this morning, must mean went trick or treating last night! Mark had to work, so we were rushing around making dinner, sending Daddy off to work and getting dressed all before 5:30. Our small neighborhood does it early so that we can all go out to bigger and better places to really load up on candy. Myah had a blast, if you know her you know how much she obsesses with food/candy when it is in her presence so you gotta believe she thinks this is the best night of her life! Many of our neighbors give out special items for the kids because there are so few of us, some even gave out full size candy bars, I just love where we live! My neighbor Linda even provided hot cocoa and donuts for the adults. The weather this year was unheard of for Halloween! It was so warm, like in the mid 60's, normally we are rushing through the neighborhood because it is freezing, last night we mingled and played outside beforehand. This was the first year that Dayton did not dress up, kind of sad for this momma but he still walked around with us, in shorts no less!!! We have seen snow flakes a few times over the past two weeks so we were extremely surprised and elated to have a few days of warm weather.
Myah looked so sweet in her fairy costume that Aunt Melanie made for her, thank you Aunt Mel! I curled Myah's hair and put some makeup on her, boy did she look pretty, she came walking down stairs and Mark looked at her like she was ready for the prom, couldn't believe how blessed he is to be her daddy. We were sitting at the dinner table and I remarked that the rest of us looked washed out next to her, with her dark hair, dark skin, and all of the fluff! She definately got lots of looks and oohs and ahhs. We are going to be in big trouble someday I have to believe! After we made the rounds in our neighborhood we went into our little downtown area with a few neighbors and visited the businesses, even the Chinese restaurant gave out fortune cookies! We came home and sorted through the candy, Myah was begging for a piece so she tried and extreme sour warhead, oh my. I took this little video clip, you can see for yourself, it was a wee bit sour! Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween!
