Yesterday was a very busy Halloween day for us. We started our morning at Valencia Palms Nursing Home with my Moms Club to have a trick-or-treat potluck with the residents. They are always some happy to have visitors, especially children, it makes their day. It's not even five minutes away from or home so even better. The residents passed out candy and we all brought food for the potluck that they set up for us on their outside patio area where the kids played around on the grass.

Then that night we went to the Harvest Fun Fair. It is a family friendly, Halloween alternative at Southwest Community Church. They had bounce houses, carnival style games, cotton candy, hot dogs, drinks and trunk or treat for the children. I got there early with all the kiddos until Mom, Dad, Aaron and Michelle made it by after they all got off of work. We went to the trunk or treat line first before it got too crazy and Sage had so much fun and was such a good by staying right by my side as I pulled the girls along side in the wagon. It was a little crazy all three kids by myself around that many people. We do it every day but not in crowds, we survived and I'm sure I was getting a few looks, like who's that crazy women with her three kids all by herself, I even got a couple "how do you do it's"? That's a regular one we hear often. When Aaron got there we took Sage to the carnival style games and he tossed footballs and baseballs for some candy prizes. Then off to the bonce houses where Sage would have stayed all night if he didn't have to get out when time was up to just wait in line again for the next round. We had such a great Halloween celebration. It is an great event that the church puts on. It meant so much to have family there and everyone hurry to make it after a long day of working. We love you all and thank you for the memories.

I'm so glad that you all had fun at the Harvest Fair! The girls looked adorable and I loved the soot on Sage's face. Nice touch!
