Halloween

We live on a lonely cul-de-sac that doesn't get many trick-or-treaters (at least by the standards of the streets around us). Paul is determined to change this. Paul works towards this goal in two ways. First, he gives out full-sized candy bars. This is definitely a draw for the kids, but the dentist in him won't allow him to quit there. He has to include a tube of toothpaste and a toothbrush. Second, he likes to create a little atmosphere. With some scary music, fog machine,dry ice in a witches pot, spiders that jump on you when you get your treat, a remote control leaf blower (I guess it is the noise that is scary), a gorilla in a cage that made a little girl cry, and many other tricks and surprises we had plenty to keep Tyler and his friend entertained the whole evening. We still don't have massive crowds, but the word is out. I think we get a few more every year.



Seth was a great skeleton.



Makenna was a pumpkin or a "pumpkin princess". That is what Makenna said she was. She loved her costume and she will NOT look at the camera when I take pictures. Funny!



Hailee approached me this year with her costume ideas. It started "With the economy like it is..." as if the economy has changed her life this year. Well, she didn't want me to have to spend money on a costume. Good idea! She had an idea with stuff we already own. She would be a vampire baby! What is that, you ask. I asked too. A vampire baby wears footed pjs, pigtails, and has a bottle. Then it gets weird. The vampire part is the cape, white face, blood dripping from her mouth, and the bottle is full of blood (or red kool-aid). Seth thought it was the best costume in th world. I just like the creativity. Hailee went trick-or-treating with a bunch of friends, all were just regular babies. Hailee likes to be different. Vampire baby!!



Post trick-or-treating feast. Yummy! Kenna looked at the camera, but not on purpose. Ha! I caught her looking.

Hope you had a great Halloween!
