Halloween 2010

We just had a really great family weekend. Friday night me, Barrett, Krissy, Anthony, and all of the kids went to the Covington Block Party. We let the kids wear their costumes and trick or treat in the stores and all the old cars. They had a lot of fun. Little Anthony was in heaven looking at the old cars. He didn't even care about the candy. After we made it all of the way up the street and back down, the kids were pooped. We pulled through and got some dinner on the way home and they crashed as soon as they were finished eating.

Saturday was a good but busy day. We ran a few errands and Saturday afternoon Elena had a birthday party to go to. It was for 3 hours at a jump house so by the time we left, she was exhausted. Needless to say Saturday night, she slept really great.

Sunday was the big day. The one the kids had been waiting for. Halloween. We woke up and lazed around the house all morning. Then lunch and naps. While the kids were napping I started getting my costume ready. Then the rest of the clan got dressed. We left the house and met up with Krissy, Anthony and the kids in Abita for the town Halloween Party. They had small games for the kids, train rides, food, and inflatables for the kids to play on. We didn't have long to stay so we hung out about an hour and then loaded up the car and headed to Tina's house. Tina was having her annual Halloween bash with LOADS of food and a hayride for trick or treating. The kids were all having a ball running around with each other and playing and eating junk so we all got started on the hayride a little later than normal. We went on the hayride for about and hour and a half and then my kids had had enough. Landon was starting to get tired and was whining ready for bed and my big kid (barrett) was whining about having a headache. So we called moma and she came and picked us up off of the hayride. Elena was now whining because she wasn't ready to leave but good thing we did because she was asleep before we even got back to Tina's house to get our car. My kids had had such a busy week that they were just exhausted.

Overall though, this was just a really good weekend. We got to spend a lot of family time together and had a lot of fun.
