Halloween

I've had such a great time checking out all of the blogs and facebook pages to see everyone's kiddos! We had a wonderful time last night! Surprisingly not as many houses were giving out candy this year and we figure it is a combination of the recession and the Razorback football game. More likely the Razorback football game! That just meant we had to walk farther which was no big deal since it was good exercise and a nice night. We loved having Larry's parents here and the kids had a blast. No one really knew what either of my kids were. People guessed that Evan was a pirate or a knight and one person knew who Prince Caspian was once Evan told them. People kept asking Clayton why he wasn't wearing a costume so he'd have to explain it, but once we got home and he was giving out candy there were kids who came to the door that knew exactly what he was trying to accomplish! One funny story.....Evan got his costume for his birthday back in July. He has been very careful with it, especially the sword. It is not the most sturdy thing in the world so he has treated it with great care, and even hidden it when kids come over to keep it from being broken. Last night about 1/2 an hour before the sun went down he was playing outside with it and broke it! We couldn't believe it. Luckily with dad and Pa-Pa around there isn't much that can't be fixed so we performed emergency surgery and the sword is now stronger than ever!
6 bags of huge bags from Sam's and we used it all!
