Halloween 2012

Much the same this year as in years past. Aly stayed home from work today and had a busy day being the family bus driver. First she took Isabelle to school and then Gracie ,then her and Brooks went to the office for a little while before they had to pick up Gracie. After they ran a few errands and returned home to try and get Brooks a nap. Unfortunately Brooks was stubborn and didn't want to take a nap and I tell you this story to tell you that right after we get in the car to go to the Ferran's, he falls asleep.

We let him sleep in the car because he would have woke up if we moved him while we went inside and waited for the cousins to arrive to go Trick-Or-Treating. Around 5:40 we set out with Hanna and DeAnn and later met up with Morgan, Preston, and Hadley. After a successful hour we heading in to eat some dinner and then rushed to my Parents house to meet up with my Family.

Another hour with Ben and his family, Nick and Mariah, Grandpa, and Mariah's Sister Sue's family we were done experiencing Trick-Or-Treating for 2012. This is how Halloween has been for 13 years for our Family, I have never been home once for a Halloween night and Aly only last year was she home because Gracie was sick. So when will it change? Isabelle is getting older and you would think soon she will want to go out with her friends in the coming years. Even this year the girls seemed to want to go see some of their friends before we left, so maybe next year could be the year where we mix it up a little bit. Gracie and Brooks fell asleep in the car on the way home and Isabelle didn't take long to fall asleep after her head hit the pillow.

This morning everyone had a hard time waking up, its been a busy week so far and we are only half way done.
