Halloween Recap

We had a blast!

Yesterday afternoon we went over to Sandy's for about 2 hours. Kaleigh wore her costume only about 15 minutes though. She had so much fun out there. She got to ride in the cart and on the riding mower with Grandma. Sandy sent home a bag of goodies for both Kaleigh and Ryan.

After that we went by Great Aunt Debbies (she lives 2 houses down from Sandy) and surprised her with a visit. She wasn't expecting any trick-or-treaters so she didn't have any candy but she gave Kaleigh $5 and told her to get candy for herself and some for Ryan too.

We got home about 5 mins before Ryan's bus pulled up. I paid for another month of bus service for Ryan and then we came in the house and cleaned a little before it was time to go out for the night.

Mom came home and told me that Kyle at Covert called her at work (after she specifically told him the day before to NOT call her at work again) and he yelled at her for wanting to know the warranty information on the car. She ended up hanging up on him. He's a jerk! I told her we'd not think about or look at cars until Saturday and then we'd go up to Benny Boyd (about 3 miles away) and see what they can do for us. They have a "no haggle" policy so what you see is what you get. All their used cars come with warranties so that's a bonus. I told her if things didn't work out with Benny Boyd that we'd put money into the Mazda to keep it running until Christmas and then the Monday following our Christmas Party, we'd go to another dealership and try again. I figure that close to the end of the year they will really be willing to work with us.

We left here at 5:30 and walked across the street to Kristi's house first. After that we went about 5 blocks down on Main Street and entered Kaleigh in the costume contest for 0-3 year olds. The lady was rude and I wasn't very friendly back to her. Kaleigh didn't win but at least one of the top three winners actually deserved it. After that we tried to find Trisha but she was eating at Anita's and couldn't slip away. Her husband knows literally everyone in Bastrop so when they go out, it's a big event.

We left Main Street and walked to Pecan Street and started Trick-or-Treating. We went to probably 15 houses, it was still early so not everyone was handing out candy. After that we went to the Church festival and played a couple games then came home.

We tried to get pizza delivered but because we are in downtown Bastrop, surrounded by all those events, they couldn't even get to us to make the delivery.

Kaleigh passed out shortly after we got home, she slept good last night.

In about 30 minutes we are going up to Wal-Mart to get her a couple pairs of pants and some more socks.

Here's the Halloween Past and Present Video I just made. There are bunches of pictures in there :)

I'll write more later
