Peter Pan and Tinker Bell - getting ready for the church Trunk or Treat
Halloween was a two day event this year for the Wiese family in Idaho! We had a great couple of nights.
Saturday the 30th, we had our church Trunk or Treat. It was an amazingly beautiful night for the event. The is so nice that we did not need coats.
When we first got to the church party, we took the kids around to trunk or treat. At first, Emma and Caleb did not want to say "trick or treat". After a few car though, they got into it. I think once they saw the the candy going in the pumpkin buckets, that made it all better!

Next, we went to play on the jump toys. Caleb was totally into the jump toys, but Emma seemed to not be sure about the whole jumping toy thing. It was almost like the other kids being in there scared her or something.
So we went into the church to eat some supper and play the games that the teens were putting on. Caleb and Emma liked the candy bar walk the best! After the games, we went back outside. Even though it was dark, it was so nice. We stood around and visited with friends, the kids played and got more candy.
But, you know it is time for bed when the kids are asking to go to sleep!
Halloween night was another fun filled night for us. Tonight we decided to take the kids to another Nazarene church not far from our home. We got the kids all dressed up again, which Caleb and Emma were thrilled about!
Ready for Halloween night

Emma was a pro at this game!
Caleb and Emma at Karcher Church of the Nazarene They had so much fun with all the games at the Harvest Party and of course, getting more candy. The games were a lot of fun. All the games were based on stories from the Bible, that was fun. They also had a station where the kids got to paint with glue and glitter.
We headed home after about an hour at the party. Caleb and Emma were still having fun, so we decided to walk up and down our street to Trick-or-Treat for a little while. They were so excited to go. They had their frog lanterns from my friends Lori at work and their pumpkins buckets, already getting heavy. Caleb and Emma saw the other kids out and about and were ready to do the same.
Caleb and Emma were a little shy at the first couple houses. Emma would get out the words "Trick-or-Treat" and then Caleb would say, "Thank you". So between the two of them, they had the it all covered!
Funny story about Halloween this year:
Caleb and Emma were in character with their costumes on. When you would call for Emma she would say, "NO, TINKER BELL!!"
So when we were out Trick-or-Treating they called each other by Peter Pan and Tinker Bell.
Emma was way ahead of Caleb walking, because she was willing to let daddy carry her heavy bucket. Caleb on the other hand, would not let mommy or daddy carry his candy bucket. So it was taking him a little longer to walk. Emma was getting tired of stopping and waiting for him. Finally, she turned around and yelled back at him,
"COME ON PETER PAN!!!!"
To which Caleb replied,
"I COMIN' TINKER BELL!!"
Rick and I just laughed at them banter back and forth.
Second funny story:
Many people thought that Caleb was Robin Hood. They would say, "Oh what a cute Robin Hood!" To which Caleb would reply, "NOOO! I Peter Pan!!!"
We had a nice Halloween. I look forward to many fun Halloween nights with Caleb and Emma!!!
