Halloween...It's All I Got

That is, Halloween-related pictures is all there really is to post this time. So let's get to it.

Getting ready for daycare on Halloween...
Carving pumpkins...D was a little more hands-on this year when compared to last.
The church had a "Fall Festival" where the kids got to dress up. There was a dinner...
Emma skipped the hot dogs. She claims that they're, or at least what they're made from, are the scariest things at the Halloween party.
There were games with candy as prizes...
On the big night, just before it was dark enough to start trick-or-treating...
Halloween was fun and we got lots of loot. Our night trick-or-treating was cut only a bit short because some dirthead had his sprinklers on, and it was too dark to see that as you made your way up the sidewalk to the door your legs were being soaked. Emma was in the stroller and got pretty wet, and it was chilly, so we started for home. What a jerk. I don't think that he did it to be mean. The guy was sitting on the porch to hand out candy...he was pretty old. I'm guessing that he was just oblivious. He seemed to be struggling with staying alert when we got candy from him. Maybe he was just too lazy to turn off the system...whatever the case, the night was truncated, but still we had fun.

A photo of D rollin' his trike with his shades on...
Also, I put a new door in the garage. Before...
After...
It looks better, and should be a little better than the leaky old hallow-core door that was there. I still have to paint the inside and re-do the trim, but...who cares, it's just a door.

Hey! That kid's still wearing my stocking hat!
We're looking forward to seeing y'all over Thanksgiving weekend.
Alright,

Yeah, Thanksgiving...we're excited to see all of your family too. I suspect D and Mr. G will get along famously.

Booked our Xmas tickets tonight, so we will be heading over! Can't wait to see everyone, as the kids are changing so quickly! Did Kevin dress up as a spider again?

It's good to hear that you'll be able to make it...should be fun.

And no, there was no miserable-Kevin-spider-dog this year. Kevin is happy just to be able to go bananas each time a trick-or-treater rings the bell. He never tires of it.
