Happy Pre-Halloween, fellas!
I generally
loathe Sundays. Sure, I get to technically 'sleep in' a little, but when you have kids, that more or less means 6:30am instead of 5:30am. Still not awesome. Following Sunday's extra hour or so of sleep, Yours Truly generally has to devote the rest of the morning, afternoon, and evening to yard work and lesson planning for the upcoming school week. And that's it.
LOADS of fun.
Well, today was no different - I still had a crap-load of work to take care of throughout the earlier part of the day. However, since this is a holiday weekend and all, I had to make time for an evening activity with the Fam:
Trunk or Treating.
Yes, you heard that correctly, folks - no typo.
Trunk or treat. Kris volunteered us through her church (
Peace United Methodist of Hunter's Creek). We ended up taking Alayna there a few years ago (
remember?), but didn't go last year because Halloween itself fell on a Sunday. So this year, we're hitting it up again... and this year, we're actively participating in it.

Basically, a dozen or so cars, trucks, and vans all pop their trunks and decorate them up in some random Halloween motif. They then proceed to pass out candy from the trunks of their cars... which, as I'm led to believe, is something that was once frowned upon by the majority of society. I was taught at a young age to avoid taking candy from strangers in cars, but I guess the times are-a changin'.
'Tis the season.
Anyway, here's a ton of pics for you (
sorry, no video - I used my Sony instead of my cell phone. My apologies). Enjoy:

| We didn't really have a theme going into this thing, so we just kinda grabbed a bunch of random stuff lying around the house.... |
 |
| ...So the next thing you know, we ended up having this haunted dungeon-looking set-up. Got a lot of compliments on it, though... |
 |
| Having a blast... |
