One Fun Time

The Halloween Trunk-or-Treat was so much fun! There was lots of candy for the kids.


The trick-or-treaters loved G1 and G2's race cars. Some of them wanted to sit in them.



This little Spiderman SO wanted to reach the pedals but his spidey legs were just too short!

We also took G1's racing kart. AD only let the littlest ones sit in it because it was sitting up on the stand. One of the little guys particularly loved that kart. He looked at his mom and said, "Mommy, Quarters?" He just knew if he had a quarter to put in somewhere that he could drive that kart. It was SO cute! That's probably the one memory of the night that I'll carry with me for a very long time.

Do you know what happens to you when you eat too much candy? You end up like this lady . . .

Guess who showed up for the trunk-or-treat. Is that Ace Ventura with AD?

Our church's 1st trunk-or-treat went off really well. Yesterday I heard some people already planning for next year.

Can't Contain Myself

It's the day before Halloween.

Living where we do in the country we don't have trick-or-treaters. But our church is having a "Trunk or Treat" tomorrow in the late afternoon so all the trick-or-treaters will still have plenty of time to do their house-to-house trick-or-treating.

It's the 1st year our church has done a Trunk-or-Treat and I was SO excited when it was announced. I haven't ever even attended a Trunk-or-Treat before but I immediately started thinking of ideas for decorations. I lean more toward the cutesy decorations because the little spooks are the ones I enjoy the most - and I sure don't want to scare them!

AD and I thought of G1 and G2 and their race cars! We talked to our Youth Minister and he thought it would be a great idea to do a racing theme and put their turf cars in the space we'd have.

Then the downer - the boys' last races of the season was scheduled for - you guessed it - Halloween. But as it turned out, the track owner planned to include a Trunk-or-Treat at the track. We would still get to enjoy the little ghosts and goblins.

I contacted our Youth Minister and told him not to expect us. He totally understood and said maybe there would be another event that would lend itself to race cars sometime.

So then yesterday it rained - and it rained - and it rained! The races were cancelled.

When we found out about the cancellation I made a hasty call to our Youth Minister to see if there was possibly a space left that we might have. He said they'd make room if they had to.

So everything is back on and I can't wait to see all the kiddos. And give out treats.

And of course have my camera at the ready too.

Happy Spooking!
