Halloween 2010

Wow! We have a ton a Halloween parties this year for Mai. On Wednesday, Oct. 27 was her school parade and party. So that is the day we decided would be the most made-up day. She was a mermaid this year and was very cute. I made a wig for her from hair pieces I found at the dollar store. She had her school party Wed., a friends Halloween party on Fri. from 3-5, Rich and Kristin's Halloween party from 6-9, and then Clif and Rose's Halloween party from 8-11. It was a long night! Than Saturday was the actually trick or treating. Of course it POURED rain right when we were ready to go. And SO windy. My mom came with us and Brent had to pass out candy at the house. I drove her around, than Grandma and Maibel would get out of the car and run up to the houses. It was pretty funny. We did about 6-7 houses this way, and than, thankfully, the wind left and the rain died down. Grandma went home and Maibel and I walked with one of her little friends Kate. Oh, and Hermes too. It was really fun. Those girls just crack me up!! Hermes was not very impressed with any lawn decoration that moved. Scared the tar out of him!! It was so funny. One witch on someones front door step took the girls be surprise and they froze! They didn't know what to do. So Hermes, being the brave one he is, crawled on his belly past the girls, and over to the witch, (growling all the way) to check it all out. Than the witch spoke and started stirring her cauldron and he high tailed it out of there so fast, he KNEW she was gonna get him!! It was so funny. I was cracking up but so were the girls, so they forgot that they were scared of the witch and up they went to knock on the door. We were almost done with our little ward area when Kate started throwing up. Poor girl. It was really sad. :( We walked her home and only went to one more house and than called it a night. We had tons of fun.
