Oh Halloween! It was a different year, but at the same time it was perfect! I proposed going up to Estes Park to participate in their annual Halloween festivities. We have heard that it a super great time, they close down Main Street and all the shops hand out candy! AJ graciously declined, due to plans of hanging with his buddies to go trick or treating. Ryker got invited to a friend's party and requested to go there instead of going to Estes. Luckily Dempsey agreed to come up with us!
It's crazy to think that a few years back we were trick or treat with the entire family, and Ryker kept saying "Merry Christmas" or was it "Happy Birthday"? I can't quite remember. It was adorable. We had less than an hour of time before meltdowns happened!
NOW---AJ was begging for me to come pick him up later than 930pm because he needed more time! Up until a weird/creepy truck following Ryker's crew, he had a wonderful time! And Dempsey! She had a great time with her friend Clare! I actually saw my parents dressed up. I legit cannot think of a time when they dressed up. EVER. It was awesome to see them getting into the spirit! Russell struggled to get into the Halloween spirit initially, especially because he wasn't inundated with Halloween spirit in the schools. BUT he persevered and got into costume. He even trick or treated and got his own candy!
I'm currently blogging while I listen to them do their candy trading-AJ, Ryk, Dempsey and Russell. They have going strong for at least 30 minutes. It's pretty adorable. "You like Twix-ok I'll trade 2 mini Twix for your Skittles?" "RIP HIM OFF DEMPSEY." "THAT Is not a fair trade." Since I'm doing the family blogging I'm occasionally getting paid in candy. Butterfinger, a warhead, a sucker, and some M&Ms. 
Good times,
Good times,
Love,
Momma
