Sugar overload

This past weekend was the time of year that mothers dread.  Small children running around at bedtime outside in the dark in costume on a sugar rush.  Halloween.

We went to base to check out the squadron party, the girls even tried the haunted house, and well it worked, they got scared!  But first we went to the medical clinic for paperwork issues, and got in on the tail end of trick or treating!




 Jumpy house in costume...is there anything more fun?

Saturday we went to a local trunk or treat at a church. It was very dark and I took no pictures. Kjetil went has a firefighter, other wise costumes stayed the same.  I only lost sight of one child for a moment and came home with the right number and proper kids along with loads of candy, so I think it was a success!

 Waiting for Trick or treaters
 Sneaking suckers
 We seemed to have lost the train conductor hat Friday somewhere along the way and by Sunday Sweetness wanted to wear the costume.
 She did a great job passing out the treats.

Over all, we were done by 7:10 and that was a wonderful thing! Gave us time to settle down and go to bed on time.  I think we are still feeling the effects of a very busy weekend though and hopefully get back on track quickly.
