trick-or-treat!

our large crew of kids

best costume ever!



Our family had a blast trick-or-treating.  We started out at our friends the Morgenstern's for pizza, salad and wine (treats for the adults!) and went all throughout their neighborhood with a bunch of their other friends.   Out of all the children there (13 total) Carter was the only girl!  It was such a idyllic night and on more than a few occasions I had to hold back tears of just complete joy. I have such fantastic kids, such a charming husband and wonderful friends (the Twix and Almond Joy's helped too).  Luckily, another mother was a complete sap too.  The kids managed to score a crazy amount of candy and they were both in bed by 9pm, not too bad for Halloween night!

and the parties continue...

We reuse costumes big time at our house, I am using Carter's Pikachu costume from last year.  It was a HUGE hit with all the 3rd graders especially with this other Pikachu!

trunk or treat

Theo's preschool had a little trunk or treat last night.  The kids got some candy and decorated some cookies.  It was a small little prelude to tonight's fun but walking home Theo asked "so, that was Halloween, right?" and honestly a handful of candy and a decorated cookie was good enough for him!

Spiderman again.

skipping home, oh how I love that Theo's preschool is within walking distance!

although, we did go to a pumpkin patch, we wanted just a few more to carve tomorrow.
Albertson's had them for super cheap!

I got one too, I like the odd shaped ones.
