Halloween!!

We had such a busy Halloween night!! We started the night out by attending the party at St Paul's Church. They had different games for the kids, face painting & even a hay wagon ride! After spending about 45 mins there, we headed to the Amercian Legion to pick up a candy bag & some other goodies ;-) Then we stopped at Papa Murphy's for some free cookie dough for those in costume. We made our way back to Courtland & went to the Rec Hall for the Lion's Club Halloween party. We were there for about an hour. MORE games for the kids & lots of little prizes.

They had the judging of the costumes & Nick took 4th place in his age group & won $4.00 & Lexi took 3rd place in her group & won $5.00!! Zander didn't get squat!! I thought HE was the cutest too!!! OH well, we'll try again next year! After that we headed back to New Ulm. Lexi changed into her Dragon costume (which was warmer) for door to door trick or treating!! I forgot to get a picture of her in it!! Oops!

We stopped at our old daycare first & then to Grandpa/Grandma's. From there, Phil took Nick & Lexi (& managed to get Eric to go with too) to State Street where they went up/down about 4 blocks. Zander & I stayed at Grandma's. Lexi & Phil came back & Nick & Eric went around 3 blocks or so by Grandma's.

We have got the candy! We are gonna put it in the pinata we are having for Nick's bday party. He is having his first *kid* bday party on Sat the 13th. He has invited 8 of his friends from school. He is excited about it!! We are getting all the games & stuff planned out. Should be interesting!

I did some after Halloween shopping today........got a TON (like 34!) of costumes for next year. I spent over $300.00!!!!!! (There goes the profits on all the magazines we sold! LOL) I should easily double that next year & hope to do more! They were 75% off & they are really decent costumes. Not your cheap Target/K-mart/Wal-mart ones either! Mostly adult. If you are looking for something, let me know, I may have it!!
