Happy Halloween

Molly the ladybug and Willy the pirate.  This year for Halloween we went to Sierra Baptist's harvest carnival.  The kids had so much fun last year we were so excited to take them again.  I love church carnivals because it's not just knocking on a door and getting gross amounts of candy.  The kids want to have fun in their costumes most of all.  This way they get to do a little game (digging in sand to find lost treasure, fishing for candy, picking an apple out of water with one of those trash-picker-upper-thingys, you name it!) and get a little prize, not always candy.  We went home with a bag of candy, a baked good from the cake walk, some little toys, and best of all, tired, happy kiddos.  No creepy neighborhoods or awkward ring and no-answer.  No checking the pieces of candy for openings or pin holes where they injected arsenic (no, that was my mom who did that).  Just good, plain fun.  As a matter of fact, I didn't get any pictures this year of the kids at the actual carnival but here are some cute ones of their costumes.
