First, I took all of the kids Trunk or Treating at the Grapevine First Baptist Church. It was huge! The trunks were decorated in either Halloween or fun themes, the kids' favorite was the Mario car. I thought the Mad Scientist and the Cereal Killer trunks were pretty funny. Here we are at the Mario trunk:
Notice Jack's abandoned Toad hat, and Jack wandering off in a Zombie-like fashion. ;)
The sun was setting right on the trunk when we trick or treated there so it didn't make for the best pictures. But you get the point. Really cute.
Trunk or Treating had a great turn out. Loved seeing all the kids in costume. And quite unlike women who intensely dislike wearing the same thing as each other, my kids were elated when they saw other Marios and Luigis. They were instant friends and had to go say hi. It was very cute, if not a little tricky keeping track of my own children at all times since there would randomly run across the parking lot to greet other Marios.
Without the Toad hat Jack looks a little like a 70s porn star. I should have borrowed one of the kids' mustaches and put in on Jack. lol Here he is wandering off again.
Quick Trunk or Treating photo op!
We concluded the Trunk or Treating with a little hay ride around the square. It was very fun!
Jack was forced to wear Toad hat for one picture - for documentation - sadly you can't see his cute bare chest because I'm restraining him. Oh, and in case anyone was worried about a baby recovering from a week of stomach flu-followed by strep throat don't worry! It was like 80 degrees.
We ran home so I could put Jack to bed and the kids went around to a few apartment buildings with our neighbor friends. The boy, Jeremiah, is in Sammy's class.
Then we went trick or treating. I thought this might be a good way to test drive the neighborhoods and see where we want to live. Make sure they give out good candy, you know?
Please excuse my poor iPhone night time photography!
Most of the houses, much like the trucks, were decorated really well. I love holiday exuberance! Happy Halloween, y'all!

Hey Jess,
Your little porn star was adorable...the stash would have made it!!!!
Someone told me the same thing about trick or treating to find the good neighborhoods!!! We had about 300 kids here so I think we found kid central!!! It is fun when the streets are loaded with kiddos!
