Halloween 2011

So this year was honestly one of the best Halloween years by far I think! Not sure what came over me but felt like a kid again and had the BEST time being w/friends and family that night! We do pretty much the same thing each year but this year we added some neighbor/friends to the mix when we trick or treated and it turned out so awesome! We live on really steep hills so the only way to do it here and have a great time is pulling trailers behind our four wheeler - it truly makes it an adventure!

Also my best friend/sister-in-law came w/her 2 kids and stayed the night so that was a lot of fun too - even though we always stay up so late talking then have to wake up early to do a workout BUT it's the best moments w/her b/c we get to chat and talk w/absolutely NO kids interrupting us so it makes it ALL worth it :) Love it when she stays! Also I usually don't ever dress up and feel like a loser mom - but this year I decided to change my whole mind set about it and have fun w/it instead of feel so stressed out and try to enjoy the holiday! So I put on an old Bee costume from when Brooklynn was a toddler and had lots of fun w/it! I've realized as I'm getting older that no one makes your happiness we are in control of how happy we want to be or can be and although 'some' people in our lives can have an effect on it, it still is truly up to us to be happy and make each moment in our life a positive moment and try to look at whatever it is in a positive way! I had a blast and the kids were smiling from ear to ear w/the loot they got that night so I know they enjoyed themselves as well!

Grandpa Hirschi came over and Uncle Jeff too for dinner, our traditional Halloween night Chili in a Pumpkin w/scones! Grandpa came trick or treating w/us for a little while then they went home - We were w/some great friends and stayed out the latest I think we've ever stayed out - we do stay out a long time usually but this time took a little longer b/c we went up to the top of all the hills to the houses that were handing out FULL SIZE candy bars - it will definitely become a yearly tradition I think and hope all of you had just as great of a time as we did this Halloween and now onto being thankful this month and being grateful for what we all have :)
