We had our own little Halloween party at home this year. There was one at church and the kids really wanted to go, but with Daddy being gone for school, and there being a large chance of rain (and it had rained all day pretty much) and mommy not having good night vision when driving, and Nathaniel has been sick, well, we stayed home. We trick-or-treated at Grandma, Grandpa and Great Grandma's house in Etna after school, and then went to Great Grandma's in Fort Jones and then handed out candy at home. We had a fun dinner, watched a couple of Halloween cartoons and went to bed too late - it will fun getting to the bus on time in the morning ;)
