Halloween Week in Review

Whew...our Halloween week was full of fun and excitement. It was a very busy and crazy week for all of us. We made a lot of great memories! This had to be one of the busiest weeks of our year. Here is the Parker's Halloween week in review.

Monday Night Football--Titans Code Blue

Andy and I went with my parents to see the Titans play the Colts. It was an awesome game (much different than the Tennessee/Alabama game we had gone to only days earlier). We were so pumped to see the Titans remain undefeated! Thanks to an exciting game it didn't seem so cold to us. Everyone at the game got light blue shirts when they came in, so the stadium was all blue...really neat to see!

Wednesday night--Trunk or Treat at Brentwood Hills

Jackson was so excited about the kiddie bounce house that he did not want to "trunk or treat." I had to make him do it so he wouldn't pout later if he missed. He had so much jumping with all of his buddies from church.

More Thursday fun--Trip to Walden Farm

We had gone to Walden Farm earlier, but did not get a pumpkin because they were closing when we finished all the activities. I decided to take the boys on Thursday afternoon to pick out a pumpkin. We could not have trick or treaters on Friday evening and no pumpkin..right?!?

Jackson wanted the "biggest pumpkin of all." This, of course, meant the most expensive as well.

Thursday night--Neighborhood Halloween Party

Our neighborhood had a Halloween Party at the clubhouse for all the kids. They had games and activities for them to do. At the end, there was a flashlight hunt for candy in the field.Jackson is making/eating a marshmallow mummy. I put Drew on the floor while I helped Jackson, and he was picking up the scrap fruit rollups. Yuck!Drew and Daddy with some food...the kid can spot food a mile away!
Friday--Trick or Treat

Jackson asked me several times when the real trick or treat was. I guess there was too much fanfare involved in Halloween for him. While we trick or treating, he wanted to go back to our house and hand out candy. He asked to eat one piece of candy after our last house and has not mentioned it since then. Unbelievable! I have had the bags on the counter since Friday night and still no acknowledgement of the candy, so Andy and I have been taking liberties with his loot.Ready to go! Jackson's first stop...
