Under Construction!

Happy Halloween 2007!

This Halloween Owen and Clay both dressed up as "worker men", per Owen's request. I decided to go all out with the construction theme when it came to decorating our trunk at our church's Trunk-or-treat. It is our third year to decorate our trunk, we have been doing it since becoming members at Westgate. In Abilene not many people go door to door trick-or-treating anymore. Mostly due to the fact that everyone who would be at home passing out candy is at their church's Trunk-or-treat, I guess. It is different than what we grew up doing, but definitely safer with small children. We always have a great time at Trunk-or-treat. Between the trunking and the carnival games...the kids have a blast! This was the first year that our kids walked around the circle and collected candy of their own. "Bud" and "Honey" accompanied us to our church this year and it was nice to have someone to trade off taking the boys around to play games and collect candy at each festive trunk. The boys also enjoyed hanging out at our trunk to hand out candy and do live construction demos (a.k.a. play with their toys/props).


Owen came down with a stomach bug earlier in the day, but by Trunk-or-treat time he was empty and ready to go (poor thing)! We did manage to talk him out of consuming anything until the following day.

Amazing how quickly they pick up on the trick-or-treating/getting candy concept...or maybe it is the "I look cute/I get candy" concept, either way, Owen has a strong grasp on it and Clay at only 17 months is already an aficionado. The first photo posted in this entry is a favorite treat for the aforementioned consumers.
