Halloween Big Party 2008

The halloween party was a huge success. We enjoyed a wide spread of food...pizza, homemade potatoe soup, homemade pumpkin muffins, pastries, donuts, chips, cake, and of course candy. We added a "moon bounce" this year which was a huge success. It served it's purpose...the kids jumped all the sugar out of them. Dallas went as Jimmy Johnson (he wanted to ride his bike around to trick-or-treat because his bike is blue and he said it could be his car #48). Madie was a "fairy godmother" who threatened Dallas all night with putting a spell on him. We had music blasting (Micheal Jackson's Thriller), and the constant flow of everyone from the neighborhood to partake of the good times. We only had to take 3 breaks around the block. There was only one house that was scary and made Dallas cry. I had no idea how scary it was going to be until we got up the driveway and Madie had already taken off for the door to get candy. I couldn't leave her in case she got scared so I had to go up with her and listen to Dallas crying the whole time. I felt so bad. I think it was a bit much for them seeing as they both ended up last night screaming around 2:00am and running into our bedroom. Dallas this morning asked if he could have some candy and I told him one piece. He was so scared he wouldn't even go downstairs by himself to get it. I guess having a little fear in the kids could work to our advantage.
