Hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween! Besides a few bumps in the planning stages for us, we all enjoyed the festivities. I got the kids in the studio for some fun pics. We then headed into our town of Parker to partake in the trick-or-treating on Main Street with some friends. What I had imagined it would be like and what it was like were worlds apart. We had never done this before and I was thinking "quaint Main Street trick-or-treating" and it was more like "trick-or-treating with the masses". (I guess last year there were 5,000 attendees.) Insanely crowded. Think trick-or-treating at a farmers market while standing in line with 5,000+ of your closest neighbors. Hmmm..... fun but definitely not what we expected. The most entertaining part was observing everyone's costumes-- everyone's! There are some very creative people out there. Sadly, when it comes to dressing up (or wanting to), I am not one of them. Oh well. Our evening ended with heading home and handing out candy (with our next door neighbor joining us) to a handful of kids (where were they all? In town??) and putting a pleading Emalie to bed ("Please! I'm so tired! I want to to go sleep!") while Nik went out around the neighborhood with some friends. When I got into bed last night, I felt like I'd run a marathon and immediately passed out (because the day involved swimming, karate and Costco before taking on the Halloween activities). What a busy day it was, fun, but busy! Anyway, happy belated Halloween!!
