Happy Halloween!

Yesterday was a busy Halloween! Sophia started off her day by trick-or-treating at my parents house at 10am. It was awfully cute how she rang the doorbell. Sophia got some Scooby Doo action figures which she just adores!!

After heading across the street to my parents neighbors house where she got a little treat bag full of candy, it was off to the grocery store.

Of course she would not take her Scooby costume off, so if you saw a Scooby Doo yesterday at the Woodbury Cub Foods Store, that was my Sophia. People in the store were just oohing and aahing over her. It was pretty cute and she of course LOVED all of the attention the costume was getting her.

Then we made a quick pit stop at home for some lunch and headed to see Sophia's great gramma. Great Gramma was thrilled to see her and of course, she got some more treats.

After a short visit, we headed to pick up the pizzas at Papa Murphys where AGAIN she got candy!

Then it was home for a nap. She fell asleep instantly. While she napped I finished up laundry, got the house ready for our company, and got ready for the evening. Then our neighbors the Matzas came over with their kids for our tradition of pizza and trick-or-treating together. The kids just love hanging out with each other, and the adults always have a great time as well.

We finished up dinner and the Wickmans came over to join us for trick-or-treating.

The kids had a great time trick-or-treating on the street and then Hal came back and Sophia and I went on with Ava, Amy, and Roger. Abby and Bennett had called it quits and the Wickmans went home. We are excited to see them again on Friday though for dinner.

The girls had a blast together and lasted until almost 8:30. They sure did get a whole ton of candy. Sophia's overflows out of an ice cream pail. I would say she for surely has enough. To top all of that, one of the houses was giving away stuffed animals. Needless to say, after the girls got them, they were the highlight of the evening and they stopped caring about the candy so much.

All in all, it was a wonderful Halloween evening. We have another busy week with gymnastics, dance, the Y, and dinner with the Wickmans on Friday. Sophia has a playdate with her friend Peyton Collins on Saturday which she is really looking forward to. Then Sunday we are off to do a meet and greet for Beauty and the Beast and then a wedding shower.

Life doesn't slow down one bit in this house......I always stop though and make sure I cherish every moment. Don't let the little things slide by. One day your kids will be grown up before you know it.
