Halloweenies

We had a fun, busy Halloween week! Tuesday evening, we had a chili cook-off and trunk-or-treat at church. Thursday, we went to the Family Fall Festival at the boys' school. Last night, we went to Shari's annual Halloween get-together. Then, Rom took the kids out trick-or-treating while I handed out candy at the door.

Our neighborhood is "THE" spot to trick-or-treat! People arrive by the carload. I ran out of candy by 7:30 pm. I enjoyed the kids and the costumes -- although, I'm a little disturbed that so many moms let their girls out looking like that! I mean, it appeared they were looking more for tricks than for treats, if you know what I mean!

Poor Kyara, she had to work, so she missed out on all the festivities. Rom disappeared with friends until after 10:00 pm -- NOT GOOD, MISTER! But, he came home safe and happy, so I guess all's well that ends well. Johnette had her friend, Dana, come trick-or-treating with her, and then they watched Howls' Moving Castle afterwards. (An interesting Halloween choice. I would have chosen Nightmare Before Christmas, but Howls' is wierd, too.)

An overall good night, if I do say so, myself. I am now going to raid various treat bags.

So fun! I love all those shin-digs and missed them all this year. We'll hold our breath until we can return to them in 2010! And I LOVE LOVE LOVED the little intro to all the pics and how it was in a book. Very clever you are!

Great costumes! Sounds like you had a fun, busy week. We did as well and I am ready for a nap!

I know what you mean about skanky clothes. One of our neighbors is in middle school and she is really immodest. Brent said that he couldn't look at her last night because he felt like it was like looking at kiddie porn. Scary!

Fun! I love halloween.
How come your neighborhood always does cool stuff? I can see why people drive t oit!
We had a lot of drive ins here too.
Hannah and I had some nice discussions picking out her outfit this year since half of them look like trash!
