Happy Halloween


The boys had a great night of trick or treat and fun with friends! Unfortunately this is the only picture I got of the night. HAHA! Half the battle for me is remembering to bring the camera... the other half, remembering to USE IT!

We had a great night though. We took a ride to base, traffic was horrendous! Mainly because cars were parked all along the street outside of the base gate from the Germans trying to get on base so they can trick or treat too! O.O Once we were on base, it wasnt so bad. We found parking right away, shocker because on a normal workday you dont find parking that fast LOL. We told the boys we were only going to go down one set of houses because we needed to get to church for the Family night party - they were fine with that, I think they were more excited about getting to church. LOL Funny thing was, about half way through, Sean was already done, he wanted to go. LOL

I was so curious about how they were going to do Halloween in housing here. I know I've mentioned it before but they houses here are more apartment type buildings, there are about three rows of apartments that all share a common stairwell. We werent sure if we'd have to go up into the buildings and knock on doors individually or would people just be sitting outside handing out candy. Thankfully, it was the latter. At each stairwell opening there was a communal table set up and one or several people handing out candy. Basically you walk up to a table get into a candy assembly line. LOL The whole time, I'm thinking, thank you God for not getting us into base housing. I can just imagine what this would be like:

Neighbor A to Neighbor B: "Are you giving out candy tonight?"
Neighbor B: (unknowingly walking into a trap - this would be me LOL) "Yah! You too?"
Neighbor A: "Oh! no! I cant but here's about 5 bags, can you hand these out for me."
Neighbors C, D, E, and F: "and for us too?"
Neighbor A: "Uhhhh....."

LOL

Anyway, the boys got plenty of candy. Then we headed over to church and woofed down dinner and cake and candy and commenced bouncing off the walls. The pastor prepared a giant bag of candy for each of the kids to bring home too.

Oh! and off the subject, I always have to add a baby tid bit in here. Here's baby and I at about 33-35weeks... depends on which date you're going by, mine or the doc's lol.
