Halloween Fun... Part 1



















Today we took the boys to Boo Springs & WCUMC's Trunk or Treat. Despite living close to downtown Blue Springs, we've never been to the Boo Springs event. After this morning, I'm not sure we'll go back. It's a great idea, but standing in long lines with two small children is just not fun! It was inconvenient to take a stroller inside the businesses, so Jason kept Matthew outside most of the time. We walked down one side of Main Street collecting goodies, but decided not to walk down the other side - the lines were too long! Nicholas really enjoyed the maze and didn't mind at all when we left after just a short time.

Yesterday evening, our church had its annual Trunk or Treat. This is our third year taking Nicholas so we knew it would be great. It's nice that we don't have to go door-to-door or be out in the cold. We know the families of the church that distribute candy, so it is a safe & fun environment. Everyone loved Matthew the giraffe. Nicholas had a tough time - abandoning many parts of his costume right away & refusing to talk to his friends while trick-or-treating. He ended up enjoying the event but was excited to come back home for dinner!
