Last night was (Nurse) Jolee's 1st Halloween, well actually her 2nd but her 1st to participate in. Because last year she was only 6 months old and just sat in people's laps dressed as a pumpkin, but this year we had so much fun. We went trick-or-treating and handed out candy. I will have to say she hung in there longer than I thought she would. Daddy came home early from work and we headed out around the neighborhood around 6:30, when it was still day light. And you would have thought she owned that sidewalk, she was walking and swinging her candy bucket, she was ready to go. She went up to the door with her Daddy and she actually knocked on it and she was great until someone actually opened the door and she didn't know who it was, then she started backing up, but when the lady started putting candy in her bucket she came around again. She wanted to stop every so often and look at the candy in her bucket and try to eat it. As the night went on and the darker it got and the more mask and stuff she saw, we ended up carrying her up to the doors and if they were dressed up scary or had a mask on she would clinch those legs around our hips, at one point she was literally shaking she got so scared (but she gets that honest, I enjoy the fun part of Halloween..pumpkins, kids dressing up and having fun, candy and all that, but the scary stuff is not for me). So at that point we went back to the house and handed out our candy to the trick-or-treater's! Then her and her Daddy started running around and playing in the yard, and she laughed and laughed, we all did really! So all in all we had a wonderful family night last night, and ate way more candy than we all should have!

That is the cutest nurse ever!
But hey, I would have been scared too if I had seen the costume Silas was wearing all night. :) What? Was he really trying to be an Alabama fan? He deserved first place in the costume contest.
All I can say is aww....
Sorry we couldn't see you and Jolee Sunday.
