Last One of Trunk-or-Treat

I've blogged the trunk and the petting zoo, but there was much more going on there! Like I said, I've not been to one of these before, but now I'm hooked! It was actually a big party!

 Todd took the kids to the bonfire to roast some marshmallows while Brandon and I handled the van.

When they came back, I took Megan inside for the carnival-style games and such, She painted pumpkins:

 Got her cute face painted:

 She wanted cat whiskers AND a pumpkin ;)

 Then we took a hayride!

Truly a fun night! 

Megan and the Pets

There was a petting zoo at our Trunk-or-Treat, need I say more?? Our little animal-lover was delighted! While Todd was busy assembling our web and the boys were off looking  for friends, our little punkin was lovin' on some cute animals ;)

 Cute! The bunny and the punkin ;)

After she trunk-or-treated she rushed right back over there. We were so lucky to have been parked on the same side of the event as the petting zoo. I could let her wander over there to her hearts content and still keep an eye on her. This is zoomed in from my spot at the van:

 She was over there so much the lady who owned the animals told her she was her little helper ;) Megan was glowing ;) She took her "job" seriously too:

I swear, if that girl doesn't have a career in some sort of field having to do with animals, I'll be beyond shocked!

Trunk or Treat!

This afternoon, we participated in our first-ever Trunk-or-Treat! I'm not sure what kept us away last year. Before that, we went to a different church and they didn't have a Trunk-or-Treat so we just hadn't ever gotten around to one.

But we did tonight! And we loved it! Because we had signed up last minute (always...ugh) we didn't really have a plan as to how to decorate our trunk so I hopped on Pinterest (!) and looked up a few simple ideas. All I had to do after that was give Todd a brief description of one I thought we be fun and he took it from there!

 A spooky spider web! Our Mad Scientist was caught in the web so he did what any Mad Scientist would do...pass out candy!!

 I took this one just as it started getting a bit busy:

 Todd took Megan around while I stayed with Brandon. Nicholas took off to do his own Trunk-or-Treating ;)

 It stayed like this behind our van for the better part of an hour:

 Nick had a turn behind the web after he made the candy rounds and then ate enough of it to kill something ;)

 I also snapped a few of my favorite trunks:

 Pac Man! Love it!

A cute ice fishing pond. The kids got a home-made fishing pole and cast it over then a treat miraculously appeared on the other end ;) Fun!

It was chilly outside this evening but we had so much fun! We'll definitely be repeating this next year. And I already have a pins on Pinterest for fresh ideas!
