Halloween bust

Last night did not go as I had expected. Sure, my pumpkins looked marvelous. They sure did turn out nice!


Don't they look great?!

And Callie had me in stitches with her funny fat monkey bottom!


The kids had a great time. Dan took them out trick-or-treating because I would only take the around the block and he wanted more candy than I'd have come home with. Joshua was Indiana Jones, Callie is the funny monkey, and Marian is the cow-girl. Believe me, I did try to get a more appropriate shirt on her, but she refused. Oh, and Delaney is behind the door having a meltdown because she's being left behind.
So, the odd thing about last night is that we had 6 people come to the door. 6! We had heard about what a great neighborhood this is and how fun it is, and all that. So I got a ton of candy. Ug. I have all the candy I got, plus another 50 pounds that the kids came home with!
Yes, it is a fabulous neighborhood to go out to get the candy, but not so good for getting rid of it. anybody interested in a few bags of crabby patties?!


Yeah, Delaney stoped being mad once she realized she could reach the candy bucket. Mom, not so pleased about it.

Wow! Your pumpkins look great. We especially like the spider one over here. We didn't get many trick or treaters, either...and my kids managed to haul in about 10 pounds of candy. I think I'll HAVE to go running for the next month.

Rebecca,
Your pumpkins look fantastic. Somehow we can't get away from the smily look to the artsy look. We only got 9 trick-or-treaters (compared with last year when we ran out of candy). My favorite was a teenager who came with his little brother. He was not dressed up except he had pinned to his shirt a sign that said "Big Brother escort: Donations accepted" We donated.
