Happy Halloween!

Well, a day later isn't that bad! :) hehehe...Our halloween passed here in Hawaii...pretty much with no major events.

First off, Sammy has school...and his school did a trick or treat street. I volunteered to help, but they had enough helpers!

Sammy came home with a TON of snacks. They only handed out like 5 pieces of candy...the rest were pretzels, chips, juice boxes, pencils etc...and yes ladies and gentlemen...

ONLY IN HAWAII will you get a bag of saimin in a trick or treat bag. (ramen noodles to you mainlanders)

We had decided we were going to take Sammy to the Bishop Museum (after school) to do a treat street there, since they had bouncers and games and what not (much like the one we went to last thurs)...BUT....

well, the weather didn't cooperate...we were under flash flood warnings...it was HOT and muggy...and traffic was going NO WHERE with 17 accidents on the highways and major throughfares.

SO....

We took a half hour to seriously get around the block to get to ward center in which it would have taken us ( I kid you not) 10 minutes to walk to.

Sammy had so much fun he must have said "mommy guess what?"...."I love you"..around 60 times (after each store we went into)...but by the time we were almost done.....he was DONE!

I think he was a little overstimulated with all the costumes and getting free candy....he had a melt down.

So, we left for a quick bite at the 'oh so healthy' McDonalds. McKayla was with Popo and Papa, so Sammy really enjoyed the daddy, mommy and sammy time! :)

Then it was off for home for baths, and bedtime. Both of which went with no complaints from the kids!~

Here we are today....sammy has has asked to go trick or treating tonight "but only after dinner right mommy"...like thats going to make me say o.k :)

We are once again battling horrible weather. Flash floods, and landslides! We are hoping Brad makes it home from the other side of the island since they are closing down roads right and left!

*sigh*....well, I better tend to my crockpot spaghetti!

  2. Sounds like you had fun or tried to atleast with the crappy weather. It was FREEZING here so our weather didn't cooperate much either. That's why every year the baby gets a fleece costume!! LOL We did 3 Trunk or treats at churches and then went to this neighborhood where the houses were all shoved together. It got to a point where I had Alex and Dominic just sit on the minivan bench and jump out at the houses with their daddy. They weren't buckled in or anything since we were going so slow. They loved that ALOT more than walking house to house.
