The Halloween box FINALLY came!!

Every year David (who is a Halloween nut!) sends the kids a Halloween box filled with goodies. David called this weekend to say that it was on the way and they have been checking the front door every hour since then to see if the box had come. Well, it finally came today and the kids tore into it! They were so happy with what was inside. James and Kellen each got a pair of Halloween underwear (which they immediately put on), Skylar got a witch costume (which she immediately put on, but I will not show pictures because I don't want to ruin her surprise), and Brennen got a Halloween bib and socks. Of course there was lots of candy and other Halloween goodies. The kids were just so happy!

Skylar calling to thank David!

In fact, the box was so good they forgot all about what was in the other box that came. Two weeks ago while we were at grandma and grandpa's house, the kids found JT's old rocket stuff. JT thought it would be fun to do that with the kids, so he ordered some new rocket stuff and the kids have been so excited for THAT box to come. Of course, candy and Halloween trump all but Christmas, but JT was very happy to get the rocket box!

After a while though, the kids were very interested in the rockets and did not want to go to bed. JT had to promise that he wouldn't do anything more and finally James agreed to bed. It was a very exciting evening for the kids. I wish I had taken a video of them opening the Halloween box. They had so much joy! Of course, I didn't think of it until after the fact. Oh well, maybe next year I will remember!
