Trunk-or-Treat

AH~FALL! I love fall for two reasons. Colder weather and Halloween. Fall leads to Winter which is my favorite season and I love to see Gracelyn go bonkers over candy. She is not a deprived child that never gets candy but we do TRY to limit it somewhat. This time of year (along with Easter being a close 2nd) brings out a candy monster in my daughter! It is really hilarious to watch her plead her case for CANDY! Sunday night we had Trunk-or-Treat at church and we decorated our trunk which was so fun. Mom and I started thinking around 4:30 what we could do and after a few stops at the dollar store, Walgreens, and mom's goat pin we came up with the following set-up. It was fun to pass out candy and see so many cute kiddos!

Gracelyn was Cinderella and our friend Lainee was a scarecrow! I don't think she could scare anybody with that smile! :)
Randall was a cat and Gracie thought that was just the coolest thing because she could recognize his voice! Cannon thought he was cute and patted his face over and over again. Hopefully this will lead to great Santa pictures since he didn't seem scared of a giant cat! Tomorrow is the big day for dressing up for school. I will post more Halloween pictures then.

On another note please say a prayer for my brother-in-law Jerry Hamilton. He is off to Iraq today and will be leaving a new baby and wife behind. It is a hard day for them both for so many reasons and I hate to see them go through this for the next 15 months. How can they form a bond when they aren't together? Kassie has some wonderful ideas to bridge that gap and I pray that it will be successful.
