Fernandez Family of Five: Halloween 2010

We did something different this year and actually braved going out in our neighborhood to Trick-or-Treat. For the past 4 yrs. we have gone to a local church Trunk-or-Treat but this year our neighbors invited us over for a Chili dinner and then to go out Trick-or-Treating with a group. Our neighborhood draws a huge crowd and we have to have security people at all the entrances so we don't have a ton of cars coming through our streets. It is crazy and I have never been a big fan of the crowds. Anyway, we tried it out this year. We had a great dinner with our neighbors, Tony and Joyce, and several other good friends and then went out trick-or-treating and stayed out for at least 2 hrs. We were all flat worn out by the end. The girls did great and enjoyed themselves. They did not get scared and most of the houses were not scary. The only downer of the night was when Regan had a reaction to some of my eye make-up I put on her. Her eyes starting getting very itchy and she was very uncomfortable. I had to take her home and wash the make-up off and give her benadryl. After that, she was fine the rest of the night. I guess in the future she will have to wear hypoallergenic make-up or maybe no make-up at all. :)

A Silly Photo.... Regan is not in this picture because this is when her eyes started hurting.

Better after the make-up is removed...

Tony had a football playmate all night, Brandon. Tony brought a football along while the kids went trick-or-treating and Brandon was more interested in playing football than collecting candy. Hence Brandon's costume, a football player. :)

The kids out trick-or-treating. We ran into our friends, the Lundbergs, and they had their dog dressed up as "Frenchy" from Fancy Nancy. It was hilarious. The girls loved playing with "Frenchy."
