Costumes, Candy and Sensory Overload!!!

Well, here is the "halloween blog." I've never been a big fan of Halloween. (Ask my mom if you don't believe me...) Unfortunately, Madeline and Timothy both came home from school Tuesday night with the knowledge of the fact that it was trick-or treat night and all of their friends would be out collecting candy that night.

They had found some costumes out shopping with Sang and Song in Michigan, so they were prepared in terms of wardrobe....all they needed was a willing chaperone, and with Mike in class for the evening...that left me.

We walked until our legs wore out and the kids had plenty to show for their efforts! They had a lot of fun, and even I didn't mind it so much. It did help that I was escorting, by far, the cutest kids in the neighborhood =)

Think they'll have enough to last awhile???Tuesday was trick-or-treat night, and Wednesday was the SHABANG at our church. (Shabang is Hebrew for "overstimulating experience"...I'm pretty sure of that.) We headed over to church with friends Drew and Derek and had quite the night! Here are a few pictures of our evening out at NMC. The kids had a lot of fun on all of the rides, they ran into lots of friends from Sunday School, and Madeline thoroughly enjoyed the comedian/illusionist that followed.

Well, I may not be a fan....but Halloween did turn out some cute pictures!
