Halloween

Happy Witch. The only Halloween costume picture I got this year! I know...bad mom...the kids took off with me running behind them, without a camera...life is busy!

carving pumpkins! Don't you always do it in your swimming suit? I told the kids to change into old clothes. This is what Halle came down in...classic Halle.

Finished product: a monster. Dora. Vampire

Although Fall is my favorite time of year...I will be the first to tell you I don't like Halloween. However, Liberty Township has changed that. They have rules. Trick-or-treating only from 6-8 on Halloween night. Everyone come out and sets up "camp" on their driveways. chairs. fire pits. and candy bowls. A billion kids and parents parade the streets as they roam from house to house. no need to knock or ring door bells, everyone is already out. We even had a "mounted police man" (police on horse back) roaming the neighborhood. It was fabulous. Halle lasted the first hour, then I dropped her off with Aaron and kept going with other kids. Isaac opted to go with a few of his friends and at the end of the night he had 10 lbs. of candy...no exaggeration. It was a definitely a memorable year, and one that has changed my perspective on Halloween.
