Trick-or-treat


Happy Halloween! What a day it has been with 2 cowgirls and a cow. Phil is on call today(spends all day and night at the hospital) which complicates things as usual. I don't know how single moms do it all, maybe they don't do it all or maybe their house looks like mine does right now.
The girls both fell asleep on our way home from trick-or-treating and so I carried them upstairs and put their pj's on and everything from the day that was in the car is now on the couch.
Here is what we did today- it was a very fun filled day. Alyssa had a little play group this morning and decorated cupcakes, McKell had a parade and party in kindergarten which we all went to, my dad is in town and wanted to go out for a late lunch/early dinner, and Nate took some very long and very short naps today.
Trick-or-treating 411- Nate-too little.
Alyssa- went to 3 houses and was done- too cold and wanted to eat her candy. She came back to the house and handed out her 3 pieces to the kids who came knocking. Don't feel bad for her she was finding candy all over the place and will be getting into McKell's while she is at school.
McKell- went like a champ with the first group, then went back out with just the older kids, then was cold and done. She didn't want to continue on with the 3rd group. She wished she could have come home and poured out her bag and sorted all the candy, but she fell asleep.
