This is our Halloween. We went to the church for "trunk or treat". It was a lot of fun. Of course Ariana was happy to see Jessa, who was exited to wear makeup with her Ariel bride costume, and they went around together a lot. Ariana was so exited to get her hair colored. She kept saying "Wow, I never had pink and purple hair before!" Gerry kept telling her how pretty she looked. And he was very happy with his super man costume and the simple mask face paint. The kids both have a lot of friends at church, there are so many little kids! Anela didn't really care about what was going on. With her laid back personality she was OK with people carrying her all around, or just hanging out with me by the car. Afa and Fa'atonu and a couple of our close friends took turns taking her around to see everyone. She hasn't been feeling well so she wasn't her smilly self, but she didn't fuss at all. She didn't keep her face paint on very well because she kept putting her fist in her mouth so the makeup came off on her sleeve!
Ariana and Gerry both took a few turns handing out candy when they needed a break from walking around. I think they had more fun passing out candy than they did going around to get it! After about an hour in the parking lot we went into the church and they had pizza for the kids. Then we left and stopped at Kirah's house on the way home. While we were there some trick or treaters came and the kids passed out her candy too! When we got home it was about 8:00pm, so the kids had to clean up and get ready for bed right away. Of course they didn't really want to calm down. But they at least got cleaned up and got in bed, even if they didn't actually sleep for a while! Now I have to go through all the candy and divide it all up, so they wont have it all for breakfast tomorrow! :)
