Halloween - this year.

Layton was sick - but somehow in good spirits.
Kaylee's best friend Madi joined us and Lee spent FOREVER on their make-up.
We had Pizza for dinner [instead of the taco's that I planned on making] since the table and counters were covered in CRAP needed for face-painting.
We met at Tammy and Duanes first to check out his 'creepy porch' that he spent the morning fixing up.
[Pretty impressive. BTW.]
We walked the streets for a bit with all the kids running ahead of us.
The Bestie was a total GRUMP. [But, yeah - I still LOVE her to death.]
Kaylee's $50 costume was ripped in half before we hit the 3rd house.
Layton wanted his mask off his face half-way through trick-or-treating since he couldn't breathe - thanks to his stuffed up nose and throbbing sinuses.
Little Miss Sydney kept dropping her candy bucket while trying to grab a treat. [Pretty cute. Actually.]
Madi's feet hurt - and we KNEW about it.
We ended the night at the Bennetts house to catch the 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition' episode.
[It was kinda crazy seeing people on T.V. that are regulars at my work - kinda cool too.]
My favorite part of the evening had to be Sydney's end-less hugs that she was giving out to the family during the show - oh, and of course, the moment she said: 'here you go' PLAIN. AS. DAY while handing me the bag of suckers.
[Totally AWESOME moment for this Auntie.]
So - to sum it all up.
We had no rain, we had no tears, and we had plenty of candy for all kids involved.

In my oppinion? I'd call that a successful Halloween.
