Happy Belated Halloween!

Monday was our first time handing out Halloween candy at our new home! We had some fun with it. Tony decorated up as a surgeon. People who came to our house that know us thought he was just coming home from work. That led to a discussion about the fact that even though Tony is a registered nurse, he does not wear scrubs. (I find it strange as well!) I did not dress up, but I did wear an orange shirt.

But let's go back to the beginning of our Halloween. This was the first day that Tony and I had no obligations to anyone but each other. So, we took care of some business at my bank. We changed my name on all of my accounts, and we added Tony as a signer. We also opened a joint checking and savings! Do you know how hard it was for me to not sign my maiden name? So hard that I had to redo it several times!

Then Tony and I drove down to St. Ansgar, IA. My aunt Christa told me about this lady who freeze dries flowers down there. I really loved my bouquet, so I decided to have it preserved. It was a beautiful day for a drive down there.

Tony and I stopped in Austin to have our first meal out at a restaurant as Husband and Wife. We ate at Pizza Ranch. Since I usually say "HECK NO" on the pizza joints, I figured I should be a good wife and give in. I even enjoyed most of the pizza I ate. (I'm just not a pizza person...)

We realized at lunch that we did not have any Halloween candy yet. So, we stopped at Target in Austin and bought a bunch. We even bought special treats for cousins/neighbors. Here they are:

We found little Halloween root beers and kettle corn bags. Out of the 47 kiddos that came to our door, 7 were Smidt cousins and 4 were neighbors. They were surprised with these treats!

Luna LOVED Halloween. Here she is waiting for the next doorbell ring to help pass out candy. There you see the bucket that was used for other trick or treaters.

Here's my niece Maya in her Halloween outfit I bought her. She really is Totally Wicked Cute! I tried to get her to smile for a picture, but unfortunately, she didn't smile until the camera was put away!

Here she is looking at her new auntie! I just love that little tummy of hers!
