Halloween

There are a million things I should be doing right now instead of blogging. But alas, I procrastinate! I do believe it was Halloween last week so let me catch up. I was a big crank that night! Nathan was in too big a hurry to let me get much by way of photos and what I did get are a bit blurry. Obviously I got no group photo. And the rest were taken in almost too dark conditions. We let Nathan loose for the first time and he ran the neighborhood with friends. I took the rest out (it was good for me to walk off my crankiness). Doug manned the door non stop for 3 hours before we finally turned out the lights. As usual, we ran out and ended up passing out all of Jacks, and a lot of the girls candy. The only thing I'm going to say about our neighborhood at Halloween is what Kristen said that night "Mom, do you think they put an add in the newspaper telling everyone to come to our neighborhood for trick or treating?" (me) "It looks that way hu!"

Despite their mother this lot did have a lot of fun and got the costumes they wanted, except Jack!


I believe Nathan decided he was a Dementor Sith (Lord). Kristen a devil. She just wanted her dress super plain and no tail. She told me that devils don't smile, so she didn't.

Samantha is our beautiful (possibly evil) medieval princess with a hat that won't stay on because I messed it up so it only lasted for pictures. Here's Jack trying to say "I don't want your candy bribe!" "I hate this monkey suit!"

They look so cute! People drop their kids off in our neighborhood to trick or treat too. We buy candy at costco and run out every year.

The kids look great! I'm not a big fan of the whole candy thing anyway--I know I'm going to hate it when Soren comes home with a bag of candy.

My mom use to slowly get rid of our stuff so that we wouldn't eat it all. I like that idea. :o)
