Halloween!

We had a fun Halloween! Last year Oksana had no concept of Halloween at all. I chose her costume and she just went along for the ride. This year she definitely knew what was going on! She chose her own costume this year...Tinkerbell. Evan was a horseback rider, and Clayton was a mad scientist. The boys decided to pass out candy this year instead of trick or treating. They love passing out candy and knew they would still have plenty to eat between the leftovers and Oksana's candy! We were excited to get out tonight and meet some neighbors. We recently learned of another homeschooling family on our street and had the chance to meet them tonight. They were very nice! Then we went to one home at the end of the street that was giving out tracts with their candy. We enjoyed the chance to talk to them more and appreciated knowing there was another Christian on our street!

Oksana had Larry and I absolutely cracking up. She was SO excited! At every house she would yell "Trick or Treat" and then usually inspect the candy she got and comment on what it was or how much she got! She'd then decide to tell stories to each and every person, that none of them understood because she was talking so fast. Then she would squeel with excitement and say "Are we going to another house?!" She was thrilled to see her bucket filling up. After awhile it started getting chilly so she decided she'd rather go home and eat some of the candy. We let her have a few pieces and then she was off to bed. I definitely didn't want her para paying the price tomorrow for a late night!

It was overall a low key but very fun Halloween.
