My Halloween 2008

October first kicks off my most favorite time of the year. October, November and December are so much fun. Halloween, followed by Thanksgiving, followed by Christmas are just so much fun. And once you add children to the mix it gets even better.

Our church has a pumpkin patch each year. It is a wonderful time to hang out and play. This year, T and I volunteered in there to sell the pumpkins. It is lite duty. Just collect money from the folks who come by to buy pumpkins. We brought the kids and they could run around while we sat around and hung out. As you can see, we had lots of fun.




















Later in the month we played at our monthly poker party. Since it was October, it was a costume party.




Finally, it was time for the actual day of Halloween. The kid were so excited. E was going to be Spiderman, for the second year in a row. Z, in theory, was going to be a dragon. But when it came time to put the costume on, he didn't want to wear it. So we settled for his homemade Halloween shirt. Here, the kids are getting ready to trick or treat.





The kids really loved trick or treating. Luckily they are still little and they really only have the stamina to do our block and our neighbor's block. Some older kids come by and they have a pillowcase filled with candy that must weight ten pounds!
