Trunk-or-Treat!

Yesterday evening was the second annual Trunk-or-Treat event at our church!  The kids love having the chance to dress up more than once, and it's a fun event in which the whole community is invited! As the picture indicates, the girls are both going as Minnie Mouse this year, and Shane man is the Hulk! 
 
With the event being at our church, we of course had the van open for business!  We didn't go too crazy with the decorations, but our witch hat ring toss was a hit!  Olivia is asking for more m&ms!!
 
One thing that I overlooked in preparing for the event was buying Olivia a pumpkin for her candy!  Last year she dressed up, but being 11 months old, she was not exactly into the whole trick-or-treating thing!  Of course that is not true this year.  She realized very quickly that there were just two pumpkins and three kids!  And the big kids were not about to give their pumpkin to her!  So Steve made a run into the 99 cent store on the way!!
 
Big kids waiting to play the games at the carnival car!
 
Shane attempted to win a full size candy bar many times by bobbing for apples.  Poor kid came up short every time! Thankfully he did not let that bother him!
 
Faith enjoyed having her face painted at one of the trunks!
 
It was a fun event for the kids and adults, and it even included a chili cook-off!  And Steve's famous poker chili won second place out of eight!  From now on he will be reminding us that it is award winning chili!
