Halloween fun

Brenden has been waiting for Halloween for weeks!! He has had his costume and has worn the mask playing in the yard! It was painful to watch him wait for the sun to dip and Annie to wake from her nap. Patience is not one of my sons best traits! Finally it was time to dress up and head out with our friend Chloe. Brenden was a Star Wars storm trooper and the girls were Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. As we gathered outside, waiting to see anybody else, the nicest policemen came by to make sure we had safety lights (the girls shoes did not count, so we had to get flashlights) and give the kids candy. Apparently in the burbs, policemen are actually here to make sure we are safe and have fun! Who knew?!

The kids marched off without a care in the world and did an amazing job with manners and patience! The night was wonderful! Candy was earned and bedtime was late! What else could you ask for?!
