The Angove family: Hoopla and Halloween

On Saturday afternoon, our church had a "Halloween alternative" event called "Hoopla." Basically, there were about 50 different little games set up outside for kids to play, then probably 10 or 15 inflatables set up in a big field, as well as horses to ride, a climbing wall, live music, free popcorn and cotton candy, and more! It was crazy (there were 7,000+ people there), but a lot of fun! Addie mostly played games that had the name "toss" in them-she wasn't a great tosser, though, she just knew how to cheat-and nobody cared! She got at least one piece of candy after every game she played, so she got quite a bti of candy. She really enjoyed playing the games, but did not understand the concept of waiting in line (shocker) or having to let other people take turns. If she had it her way, she would have just kept playing the same game over and over. Daddy worked in a booth while I took Addie and Levi around. But, Daddy was able to play a few games with Addie before and after he had to work the booth. Those are when I was able to take pictures-it wasn't even a thought for me to try to pull out the camera when I had both kids on my own.

Ready to play some games:

Getting tired:

Sunday was obviously Halloween, so I dressed the kids in their Halloween shirts for church and got a couple pictures. That evening, we took the kids to a few houses to go trick-or-treating. We just went to the houses where we knew the people (and they knew us/Addie). People were VERY generous giving out candy. There is no way they could have given as much candy to each of the other kids as they did to Addie...I think it has to do with her being so cute, but I guess I am a little biased.

Winnie the Pooh. As a sidenote, Addie wore this Winnie the Pooh costume for Halloween last year and it fit very well. It is size 3-6 months (Addie was born in April). Before we had Levi, we had planned for him to wear this outfit for Halloween, even though we thought it would be way too big since he was born 4 months later than Addie. We were wrong! It fit him well-he is growing so much faster than Addie did!
