Trick or Treat

The Day started with Tink heading to school.  

So Halloween was my last day of school before my maternity leave so I stayed later than I had hoped talking and planning with my long term sub.  I picked up Cheyenne (I mean, Tink) and raced home to meet Chris.  The whole Sweeney clan was on their way up and I barely beat them home.  So in the commotion of fixing Cheyenne's hair, getting candy ready, saying hello, the door bell rang and Chris yells "First trick-or-treaters! Megan, can you please get that?"  I had bobby pins in my mouth, Cheyenne on my lap and a 9 month pregnant belly, and there are 5 other people in the house that could get the door, but I gave a little sigh and grabbed the candy bowl, moved the curtain and low and behold - there are my parents!

They had heard that I was missing family and jumped on a plane to surprise me and join us in our Halloween festivities.  Everyone was in on it.  I truly love a surprise and honestly, I rarely get it because I am such a planner (blessing and curse).

Some pictures of the night:

You can always count on the Sweeney Boys to be festive

Everyone took a turn at the door handing out candy at the door.
We ended the night with a count of just under 1,000 trick or treaters

The prettiest Tink and the best night
