Halloween (yes, that was like 5 weeks ago, but better late than never). We started with our traditional mummy dogs for dinner.
And then headed out for some trick-or-treating.
This year we cheated and used our electric scooters, which was pretty much awesome. John got me two of these for my birthday (that means he got me one for me and he got me one for him). I suppose the scooters need a blog post of their own sometime because we love 'em that much!
Anyway, we headed out on the scooters because we wanted to visit some friends in our ward who don't have any small children living at home anymore and we simply adore them. They live a little too far away to walk so we thought we'd swing by on our scooters. It was a blast cruising through the neighborhood and seeing all of our friends and neighbors out and about. The boys loved waving to everyone and we enjoyed checking out every one's costumes along the way. We met up with some friends from church and finished the evening trick-or-treating with them.
The next day we did our candy science experiment where we sorted the candy in a muffin tin and then watched what happened when we heated them up in the oven. Tyler thought this was pretty cool, since they were learning about matter in school at that time. He watched how the candy went from solid to liquid and back to solid when it cooled. I was just happy with the fact that he wasn't eating all that stuff ;) And don't worry, we did keep some of the good stuff, but it was nice to get rid of a bulk of the candy.
Robby did great. Halloween doesn't scare me like it used to- I mean that in the "I have a type 1 diabetic kid kind of way." It's a bit of work, but we've certainly learned how to make it a little easier.
