Halloween and the last days with one child

Happy Happy Halloween from the Chambers. Sweet Minnie Mouse. We had quite the day and day before full of activities. The day before we went to a little playgroup/ halloween party where all the kids dressed up and played games. I was stunned and proud as I sat and watched our little girl participate in the games and actually get it and get all excited.
Friday night we headed to the ward trunk or treat. It was short and sweet and very windy and cold. My Brad saved the day by having this "too small" brown vest for me in the car. Don't worry, Chloe was just fine in her short sleeves though. Knuckle head.
Both nights we dumped her candy out all around her and grabbed our favorites while she did the same. We had to watch the Great Pumpkin because it's tradition.
On Saturday we started at 10am. We hit the Micheal's craft store for free crafts and a bucket of goodies, then to the local grocery story where we pathetically waited in disneyland long lines for Chloe to get yet more candy. They loaded her up with good stuff though and let's be honest, we reaped the rewards of having an adorably dressed up child who politely would say, "trick or treat" and "i'm minnie mouse" and "thank you". Next we headed to Sam's Club for our ritual lunch of pizza, hotdog, big drink, and pretzel (which I shared this time) all for under 5 bucks. Then we killed some samples and headed home by 1:30. Off to nap for the 3 of us.
That night we went trick or treating with our next door neighbors. We drove to a neighborhood (can't wait to live in a neighborhood where we could actually trick or treat in, like the one's we grew up in as kids) and then hit the local Steak and Shake with them for dinner. Try the guacamole burger. 
And this is Chloe and her cute friend Kate. Their dad's are both going to be doctors (Kate's is almost there not so much for Chloe's) It's really funny to watch them with the doctor kit they play with.

AAAhhh! So cute. I love that she talked. My kids go dead silent and won't look at anyone. They just hold out their bags and look at the ground.

Chloe is the cutest Minnie EVER. Ever. Funny thing, I've never eaten at a Steak and Shake, but all Halloween day I couldn't stop thinking about how much I wanted to eat there. But didn't. Now I know to get the Guacamole Burger...good tip!
