trunk or treating

This Saturday was our ward's Fall Festival.  This included trunk or treating.  Since Minnesota is so cold already, families decorated doors instead of cars, and kids walked around the building to collect their treats.

Our Saturday started with a costco trip for an eye check up.  Looks like I need glasses for distance/driving.  Cool.  After that, we thought it would be fun to drive up to the Chick-fil-A in Maple Grove, since the one buy us hasn't opened yet.  It was 3:30 in the afternoon when we got there AND the line was out the door.  Drive thru was just as long.  Super bummer.  We ended up at Olive Garden and before we knew it, it was 5:00.  I thought the Fall Festival started at 7 - turns out it was 6.

We then rushed through a few thrift stores and walmarts, looking for suspenders.  No luck (where do you find suspenders these days?!).

We rushed to get ready and I think we pulled off the Alfalfa and Darla look alright, even without the suspenders!


The Fall Carnival was a success and I am glad we were able to go.  There is something magical about being around kids for the holidays.  It was fun to see all my little nursery kids dressed up.  They weren't too sure about what was going on, but they sure did look adorable!

You can get suspenders at costume shops and Halloween stores, not sure where else!

You guys look perfect!
