Happy Halloween

What a great weekend of halloween fun! The fun kicked off Friday afternoon with a Halloween party at the kids school. Derek and I both went up to hang out with the kids and see their Halloween parade. After a quick dinner, we went trick or treating with the Hamricks and the Rileys again this year. This year's costumes were just as good as last year. Hatcher and Aidan were dragons, Madison was Dora the Explorer and her baby brother Carter was dressed as Dora's best friend Boots. Molly was JoJo and her younger sister Riley was Uniqua the pink Backyardigan. For those of you who don't have kids or kids that watch Disney or PBS yet...you will know who each of these characters are soon enough! Although Aidan fell alseep before we even got started with the trick or treating frenzy, he did wake up just in time to hit the last 4 or so houses. On the other hand, Hatcher absolutely LOVED running from house to house. He had no fear once he got the hang of it after house number one. After each one he would run back to Derek or me and say, "Can we go to one more house Mommy/Daddy?" (Visualize him holding one finger and asking with the puppy dog eyes and 'poor me' begging tone...HA !) At each house the kids would all, and I do mean all, push the doorbell and wait for candy. It was hysterical, at one house Hatcher jumped up and down several times trying to reach the doorbell and turned to all of us adults and yelled, "I cant reach the doorbell, I think," and then proceeded to merely bang on the siding of the house! HA...LOL! Hatcher is such a good talker/conversationalist at this age that on the way home he told Derek and me that he had a really good time and that he was tired from his long and good day.
