Still enjoying the Halloween Festivities with friends. We we were invited to a Trunk or Trick at a special friends Church. I have really come to enjoy this type of trick or treating, mainly the safety of it and also for the compact area. And most people really get into decorating their trunks for the kids. 
It seems like today the neighborhoods are not as friendly, or people are movong in and out and you don't really know them. When I was younger our neighborhood which actually consisted of the entire community stayed the same. All the moms felt safe enough to be at home and hand out treats while the children walked in groups for blocks and blocks with older siblings all night long. I regret that my children and granddaughter will never get to experience that kind of Halloween. But we have found unique ways to celebrate and still be with friends. The winds were not in our favor, they were gusting over 40 mi so Lil Orchid was not able to where her Bo Peep outfit as planned..all we could invision her turning into a little Mary Poppins and flying away. Dumbo's belly wouldn't fit into the carseat, so my Lil Orchid became our Lil Daisy for the evening. 
They had lots of games, hot dogs and chili. 
With friend Christie, she won a cake walk and got two little decorated cupcakes which really tickled her and later watched a B & W Casper cartoon while munching popcorn with friend, Brian. Christie gave her a mylar Jack O Lantern balloon when we left but before we could tie it up at home Lil Orchid released it to the cathedral ceiling. I was able to lift her up and rescue it.

Can I just hug her???? That little flower outfit is so cute and she has such a sweet personality and beautiful smile. It warms my heart to see the adorbale photos of Lil Orchid.
If you guys are ever in the Syracuse area, you have to come visit and stay with us. I know Lil Orchid and Sofia would have a blast and we would too. :)
