Trick-Or-Treat

This year as the tornado siren went off at 5:30pm to let us know it was time to trick-or-treat, I was still squeezing my babies into their costumes.  Cason was on a phone call for work, kids were ringing the doorbell that I was unable to answer, broccoli cheddar soup was on the stove, and rolls were in the oven about to burn.  It was a crazy day (evening mostly), all for some free candy.  We finally made it out the door around 6pm.  BUT, I love the holidays more now than I ever have (in a different sorta way).  Nothing brings me more joy than to see my children get excited and anxious for the events of a holiday.

Millie loved trick-or-treating.  She walked right up to the door, would sometimes forget to say "trick-or-treat", and a treat always landed in that round plastic pumpkin.  She ran from house to house.  But she mostly enjoyed all the doggies outside.  It was almost as if she was out there for the dogs and the trick-or-treating was just an added bonus.  The girl and her animals!

Ivy just sat back in the stroller, with her paci in her mouth, enjoying the crisp air and watching all the kiddos.  It was freezing, so we let Cason and Millie do the rest of the trick-or-treating while we went back to the house to pass out candy.

We finished the night off with treats and full tummys.

We had a great Halloween week and are looking forward to the rest of this holiday season.

Millie Says...

Just some funny things Millie has said lately that we don't want to forget:

1.  We were in the garage and heard a loud noise outside of the garage on the road.

Millie ran to the stairs to go inside and said, "we hafta get outta here!"

2.  Many times a week we go on rides just to get out of the house.  As we drove down this pretty street lined and covered with trees 

Millie said, "Woah!!...looks mazing!"  

Me: "It does look amazing huh, Millie?!" 

Millie: "lots trees!"

3.  Cason gave the opening prayer in church on Sunday.  After he finished and said Amen, Millie yelled, 

"yay!  You did it!!  Good job, Dad!" and clapped her hands. 

It was hilarious!  Everyone around us giggled.  

4.  Every night Millie reminds us we need to read "scrippers." (scriptures)

Might be a way for her to stay up longer, but I like to think she really wants to read them. :)
