Trick or Treating

All three of the kids were so excited about Halloween and getting to dress up. Levi dressed up as a Scull Ninja. Zion was a glow-in-the-dark skeleton. Avva was a Princess, of course. The boys got to wear their costumes to school. I wished I could have taken a picture of their faces when I told them that they were allowed to wear their costumes to school. Avva had said the day before that she was going to wear her princess dress all day too like the boys. She really surprised me that she was not going to wear it til we were fixen to leave to pick up the boys from school. I fixed her hair in what she calls 'ballarina hair' and put my make-up on her. She was so patient when I was making her face up. I messed up on her lips 3 times and had to start over. She never wined or complained once on how long it was taking.

We went and picked up the boys from and school and they were so ready to go trick or treating. The local down town shops here in Hico always on Halloween will give out candy. They do this for safety concerns and I really do like that. It is kinda strange to trick or treat when it is light out, but I am not complaining. It was soo hot, but the kids only complained a few times.

Once we got back home they were already pouring out their candy to trade each other. I think that they were on a candy high for most of the evening. Today I have allowed to eat as much as they want. They actually have been some what responsible with it. Well Levi and Zion has been. Avva has taken a piece everytime she walks by.

I am glad to have it all over with. Except the fact that there is candy there to tempt me with. I have worked so hard on losing weight I am really trying to resisit the temptation.
