[love] Halloween Trunk or Treat

Better late than never, right?

Our church hosted a Trunk or Treat for Halloween, basically where cars park and decorate their trunks and pass out candy from the back of their cars. We also had bounce houses, cotton candy, and hot dogs with the fixin's! We had a great turn out!

My sweet pups: Oliver, the lion, and Chloe, the "tiger" (hmph: she doesn't "do" costumes)


Lions (Oliver) and tigers (Chloe) and bears (me), oh my (Nate)! 

 You can start to see how everyone's trunks are decorated and all lined up...

My trunk set up...

Other trunk set ups...

They were "banished" to the backseat for a bit... they were just too excited! And here, you can see a small glimpse of Chloe's tiger costume... yep, a bow.

 

This picture was a pure miracle... they're both laying down... still... looking at me. Crazy!

It was a great night had by all! We had a blast putting the event on and serving the community and it seems that everyone who came through had a blast too! Half of my students even came to the event: they all kept telling me, "Mrs. Johnson! I'm coming to your party tonight!" Hahaha gotta love Kindergarteners.

Have a wonderful week!

[updates]

I've been such a bad blogger! Man, I'm just lazy. Sorry guys, that's really what it is. I come home and take a nap or lounge on the couch. Maybe throw in a load of laundry. Maybe complete a craft. But most of the time, it is lazy city around here.

Anyways, I have TONS of updates to share! Halloween and our Trunk or Treat event at church, a baby shower I helped host, the events of the wedding that Nate and I will be in this weekend, and even TWO more items knocked off my 30 before 30 list! If you follow me on Instagram (chrissydj), you probably already know what they are.
 
SO please stay with me as I get the motivation to get these posts up and running for you! But I am still reading, either via my laptop or iPhone. Have a wonderful week!
