We had a great Halloween this year! Some of you might know that, last year, after we trick-or-treated in our neighborhood, we came home and had NO trick or treaters. It was extremely disappointing. So this year, we were bound and determined not to let that happen!
We ended up going to my friend, Jenny's house. Jenny and I know each other from the gym, where she regularly does very mean things to me via a cycling class that I adore. She lives on the golf course adjacent to our subdivision, so we didn't have to go far. My other friend from the gym, Kristie, and her family were there, too.
After a few slices of pizza (looking back on it now, I don't think my kids had ANY dinner that night. OOPS!), we headed out to get some candy. The kids were all troopers and had such a fun time. After about 15 or so houses in the immediate area, we headed back to Jenny's house, where we handed out candy. We were able to see quite a few of Grace's classmates and our kids had a lot of fun with the Johnson and Dennis kids. Here are all the kiddos, except Jenny's youngest, Mackenzie, who was having no part of getting in this group shot!
Jasen and I had a really good time visiting with Jenny's father-in-law, Walter, who is a Marine Corps. veteran and now a chaplain for the sheriff's department up in Fort Mill, SC. Also, Kristie's hubby, Jamie was a HOOT. He's a Carolina redneck and fondly reminded us of all the TX rednecks we call friends. One day, we hope to meet Jenny's hubby, Walt, who was working that weekend at the Charlotte airport.
All in all, a great time was had by all.
Redneck Jamie and Iraqi Jasen. Can you tell they are enjoying each other??
Me, Kristie, and Jenny laughing at something the boys said to us. And that would be a green jawbreaker in my mouth.
