An Evening with the Reids




Tonight we met up with Rob, Leslie and the boys at Two Guys for dinner and then we all headed to the "Spook-Tacular Haunted Trail" at the Morrisville Community Park. Cailean got back from his hunting trip this afternoon, so he joined us. The kids got to wear their Halloween costumes, so that was exciting. I'm pretty excited about their Halloween costumes this year. I was all about making them since my mom did that for Matt and me. But, I've found out that sometimes it costs more to buy the items to make costumes than to just buy the costume! So now I've turned into "How can the boys be what they want to be the least expensive way??" We ended up at a second hand store near our house a few weeks ago. There was one rack of costumes. The ONLY one left that would fit Ian was Superman. The ONLY one left that would fit Gavin was Mickey Mouse. So, Ian was fine with his. Gavin didn't want to try his on. But, I told him if he wanted to go trick or treating this year...he would need to try it on. He replies, "Okay...I be Mickey Mouse for Halloween." SOLD! I bought the two costumes for $9 total!!! But, I couldn't find the ears. This morning we were at Walmart and I bought a $1 hat and made the ears out of the cardboard...safety pinned them on and VOILA!




Okay, back to tonight...so we had a great dinner with the Reids and then we headed off to the park for the haunted trail. It was cute! The kids had a blast and it was nice to catch up with Leslie and Rob. Leslie is my assistant basketball coach this season and Rob will be helping out! Yay!!!!!
