Well, here in Hershey or Pennsylvania they do trick or treating a little differently. Every town does trick or treating on a different day. (To help keep the children safer and to cut down on pedophiles. I really don’t think it makes that big of a difference.) So our Halloween is always the Thursday before Halloween from 6-8. So yesterday, the 25th!, was our trick or treating night. We almost didn’t go though because Jaedon did not want to put the makeup on. Which are just 2 lines under the eyes. So we had quite the struggle with that and that took quite awhile to get him talked into it. But finally we went, and it was quite fun. We went with some other couples from our ward and other med students with little kids. I think this made Jaedon get into it a little more. He started to say, “Next house” and then would take off running. By the end of the night though his bag was getting a little heavy and he made me carry it.
The outlet stores here do a “Halloween Egg Hunt”. So we went to that as well. It was on Tuesday. Jaedon started a little slow with this, and he gets shy around all of the other kids and grown ups. But I think he started to get it after a little bit. We were a little disappointed in the parents though, because they weren’t supposed to be out there with their children. One mom was even picking up all of the candy and putting it into the bag for her kid, and their bag was chuck full! It bothered me though after watching the mom and seeing her with almost 2 huge bags full, because my competitive side was coming out and I wanted Jaedon to get all of it! But luckily I have a great husband that keeps me down to earth! ;) Halloween is BIG out here. It is celebrated all month long and they even have Halloween parades! They don’t have a parade for 4th of July.
And of course I have to just throw in the pictures of Olivia, just being cute! Love you all!!

That looks like a big haul Jaedon! and it brought back memories of getting to Grandma Shaw's which always was the last trick or treating spot and everyone would dump out there candy on the floor and start putting the alike candies together. Did you do that too? Have a great time eating sll of your candy!!!!
