Trick-Or Treat Party

Happy Halloween everybody! It's been a long day here at the Frames. 2 school parties, "trick-or-treating" at Dow Chemical, our annual Halloween Party at the house, and of course trick-or-treating afterward. The kids of course had a blast tonight (as you'll see.) They started off having dinner and snacks, and then it was literally out the door in a mad rush to go trick-or-treating. The weather was great. Slightly cool and crisp, but not cold. In fact, the boys were running so fast from house to house that they were sweating. Megan did great. She couldn't keep up with the boys, so we took our time going house to house. She was so outgoing and cute. Everybody loved her. We also paid a visit to the "Spooky House" that I've written about. There were lots of people there looking at the decorations and watching the homeowner do magic tricks at the door. Ben and Megan even saw more friends there. Overall it was another great Halloween. I would say it was our best year decoration wise. This year I bought myself a fog machine and some black lights, so the front of the house looked even more dynamic than normal. Year after year we get a lot of compliments on our house, and we're starting to see cars parked out front just looking at the decorations. That's pretty cool. Anyway, we had a fun day. And give Jenny credit - she took time off from work today and helped out at both of the kids' class parties, and she even took the kids up to Dow for trick-or-treating at her office. As I write this we're both exhausted...but it was worth it seeing the kids have so much fun today. As you can see in one of the pictures below Megan practically fell asleep in my arms tonight. Every year we look forward to this day.
