Trick or Treat!

"Trick or Treat!" was the theme of the evening and we had a great one! My dad came in town for the weekend and it was fun to have him around. Trinity has grown so much since the last time he saw her and has really started talking and developing her "independence" (a.k.a. attitude!). We went down to Main St. in Grapevine on Friday night.....nevermind the fact that I finished Trinity's costume minutes (literally) before we dressed her up and headed down town...oh man! Clint and I were so proud we finished her costume on Thursday night....we cut, we hand sewed, we glued.....and we finished...only to look at the costume and realize it was about 4 sizes to small! So it was back to square one and rush, rush on Friday. It had to be completely redone! Thanks to my friend Carol at work...we got it all taken care of and Trinity looked adorable! Uncle Adam taught her to say "Oompa, Oompa" which was very fitting as well. For those of you that haven't cultured yourselves to the wonderful world of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the original, not the new one, it's creepy!)...Trinity was an Oompa Loompa this year. It was so fun!



We had Clint's family and some friends over on Halloween night. And of course Aunt Amy came into town, so there was never a dull moment! It was great! Trinity loved Trick or Treating and picked it up pretty quickly thanks to her cousin's Nate and Natalie, they were a big help! She went door to door for about an hour and then it was time to head in for bath time (had to get that green out of her hair). However, she decided she still wanted to trick or treat. So after her bath, while she was in her PJ's, we had to "pretend" trick or treat in the bedrooms before we could go to bed! It was so cute!



Overall, it was a very successful Halloween and I can't wait to celebrate more of them with our little munchkin...(hmmmm, maybe we could do that costume next year...haha!)





Trinity and Aunt Amy....getting ready for some trick or treating!

So I was so busy getting Trinity's costume together, I lacked one all together. So to try to get in the true Halloween spirit...Amy and I improvised....can you tell what we were? We thought we were pretty clever! haha


And we are off!


Ohhhh!! Look at all of this candy Mom! (this is my fav pic!)


Ace, are you coming?


Aunt Spamy...need I say more? We love her!


Sweetness!


Playing in all of our candy with Mimi before heading to bed. What a day!


The two videos I posted might be a little tough to watch..just FYI. We accidently recorded them sideways...but I wanted to share them anyway. The first one is dark at the beginning, but it will lighten up, just give it a sec. :-) Happy sideways watching!

Okay, this blog needs to seriously be updated!!! I'm waiting for Thanksgiving pics, birthday pics, belly pics, etc....

As long as you post on 12/22 your news and get caught up while you're on vacation then I'll be happy :-)

Hope your doing good Momma! I'm hoping to get Charlie to bring us with him on one of his Dallas trips and see that little Princess, and you too of course ;-)
