Friday, Oct. 30th was our Ward Halloween Party. My plans for the day included making Chili for the party, working on homework, signing up for WIC, and getting Richie dressed in his costume. Well, sometimes things don't go according to plan. I get a wake-up call a little before 5:00a.m. from my husband who has a flat tire. At 5:15a.m. my husband calls back to tell me the spare has a flat as well. So, I get dressed wake up Richie (who doesn't want to get dressed) and pile in the car. I'm thinking we can just put the spare from my car (Chevy Cavalier) on the Ford Escort. I drive almost an hour to where Bobby is and he pulls out all the stuff from our trunk (lots of misc. stuff) to pull out the spare, which of course has different lugnuts than the rim on the Ford Escort. We put all the stuff in the Ford's trunk and put the two flat tires in our car. Wondering what tire place will be open at 7:00a.m. -- Yeah for Walmart!!! Bobby heads to work around 8:00a.m. in our car and I head back into town to replace two more tires that the threads are showing. Richie and I don't get home until 10:00a.m. where I get ready for my WIC appointment at 11:00a.m. and get the Chilli started. We end up waiting at WIC for 30-40min. before getting in. Needless to say by the time we got home I only had enough time to take a shower and get Richie's costume ready.

Richie Trunk-or-Treating
At the Ward Party we had Chilli for dinner and did Trunk-or-Treating. Richie even would say "Trick-or-Treat" very quietly as we went around to the trunks. He really enjoyed getting candy in his "Pumpkin".
On Halloween, we didn't have anything planned and I didn't want to go around our neighborhood at night. I found a mall in Phoenix that did trick-or-treating at the mall from noon to 3:00p.m. Bobby ended up with the day off, so we spent family time driving to this mall. Richie had a lot of fun wearing his Spiderman costume (minus the face paint) all day Saturday. He really got into the getting candy part of the holiday. When we decided to leave he was upset because they had a trampoline that you could pay to let your kid jump on (which we didn't do). We ended up being gone all afternoon and so rented a couple movies and had pizza to finish off our Halloween. It was a really fun day, but we didn't get any work done.
