Halloween Night (For Real)

So all week Lily kept asking me "mom is it tonight", when she could go trick-or-treating. And finally it came. I took Lily over to meet up with her friend Kylee and we went around her neighborhood which was awesome because the houses are close together so she got a TON of candy after not having to walk very far. The funniest thing was every time we would tell the girls to say trick or treat and thank you, they usually ended up just holding up their candy buckets and then at the end saying trick or treat for more candy. It was pretty funny. They were too short to reach the doorbells and their knocks too light to be heard so Lily started to stand on the top step holding onto the doorknob to reach the bell. It worked most of the time but once she accidentally opened the door and the people were like "oh hello", whoops. The last stop we made on our way home was to a lady I visit teach who also used to do singing time in nursery with Lily and Lily loves her. Well, after we left and I got Lily in the car, I reached down to get the car key (which was alone because it broke off the key ring) and it was gone, fallen out of my pocket. I didn't panic but realized it had to be somewhere between the car and Sister Chalmers' house so I asked her if I could borrow a flighlight and started searching the sidewalk and her very leafy lawn. After about 30 minutes and lots of cute kids and adults that stopped to help I found it under my seat in the car and we got home safe and sound. After a few pieces of candy, (I tried to swipe some and Lily seeing me said "Oh no no no, mom") the girls were in bed at 8 and we turned off our lights so the door wouldn't keep waking them up. Then Chad and I settled in for a show and had a quiet night together. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
