Halloween (Trick or Treating)

After Grandmommy Dyenson headed home, I fed the little girls, and started getting everyone dressed in their Halloween costumes. I have to say they were even cute the second time around =) Once everyone was dressed and the diaper bag was packed, we headed outside. Just as we were heading outside, Grandaddy Sizemore arrived and Ian came over from next door. Emily was so cute, she said, "There is Batman" and then said "Oh, it is Ian". Grandaddy stayed with the girls while Emily went over to get Carmen. Once Carmen came over we all took a few pictures and then it was time to head out. Grandaddy helped me pack everyone up in the car and we headed to Chick-fil-a on Pelham Rd to get some dinner around 6:00pm. When we arrived, Grandmommy, Aunt Leslie, Cousin Megan, and Cousin Blake were all seated and eating. In addition, we happen to run into Eric Blagg (one of the guys in the audit department at Dixon Hughes). We got our food and ate also. During dinner we were visited by Mr. Jerry, an older gentleman that works at Chick-fil-a as a greeter. He came over to visit (he knows us from our visits to the kids program held there on Tuesday nights) and to bring the kids some candy. He was really excited to see Emily and went behind the counter to get a bag and filled it with candy for Emily. It was very sweet. After that, we headed over to Aunt Marna's house. When we got there we were greeted by "Vet" Sophia, "Pirate" Sydney, and "The Grim Reaper" Mason. We left Ansley with Grandmommy since she was not feeling well and went out to trick or treat. The group included Aunt Marna (a cow girl), Uncle Jim (a prisoner), Jake (the dog was a cowboy), Mason (the grim reaper), Sydney (a pirate), Lilly (a princess), Sophia (a vet), Aunt Leslie, Megan, Blake (a lion), Grandaddy, Emily (little bo peep), Bailey (a sheep), and myself (a cat). Jim pulled Lilly and Emily in the waggon from house to house during our trip. At first the big kids were running from house to house, while Emily and Lilly were taking their time, riding, and playing. As we progressed, Emily and Lilly were racing up to the doors and very excited about trick or treating. We looped around Aunt Marna's neighborhood before making it back to the house. All the kids had a great time, but were tired by the end although they wanted to keep going. We briefly went in the house, got something to drink, changed the babies, said our goodbyes, and then Grandaddy went with us back to our house to help get the little ones settled. It was a fun night!!!
