Happy Halloween 2008

We had a fun night tonight. The kids decided they wanted to go trick-or-treating in the "Liberty Pole" development in Hingham. The development is huge and the homes are closer together making it much more kid friendly than our development. It was a beautiful, warm evening which made for lots of houses visited. On to the fun.....


Trick-or-Treat!!!
Now introducing the cast of characters we had in our home on Halloween.....




Logan as an Indian boy.

While I was in India this past August (post still pending...150 pictures worth), I bought all the kids Indian dress clothes. Logan wanted to wear his outfit to pay tribute to the people of India. I absolutely loved it there and the kids loved the pictures and gifts I brought home.


Emy as Gabriella from High School Musical.

If you know Emy, this was the only logical choice for Halloween. She LOVES High School Musical. In fact, Daddy had the great honor of taking her to the movie on opening day 10/24.



Wyatt as the fierce Pterodactyl.


This is one of those costumes that can't easily be worn for long as the head piece obstructs vision. Isn't Wyatt was the cutest (I mean fiercest) Pterodactyl you've ever seen?



Ashton as the Lion.
Ashton was a trooper and kept trick-or-treating until the very last minute. He was excited to get all the great CANNIE at the different homes.

All in all, we had a wonderful evening. The kids made sure to get plenty of peanut butter cups for daddy as I made sure they were aware of the mandatory daddy tax on all Halloween candy. I explained to them that they are lucky my rates aren't as high as the government. They've been very concerned about taxes lately with the election coming up. I could insert my political comments in here like taking more candy away from kids that got over 250 pieces and giving it to kids who got less. It doesn't matter if the kids who got 250 pieces spent 2-3 times as long trick or treating..if they got more..they should give it to those who didn't go at all or only spent 20 minutes..right??? Anyway, back to Halloween. Happy Halloween everyone!!!

Wow you all look great!! We had a nice warm Halloween too. We had a "Trunk or Treat party as well, It is os much better around here and safer for the kids. The later hour of Day light Savings really was nice for Hall0ween. Your costumes look great. I love the India outfits, but Wow Logan and Emy are looking way toooo grown-up. Sorry we are missing so much of that. Emy looks way tall in those pictures. What a gorgeous "pink" too. HS musical just came to Preston so I hope I can see it this weekend too. Logan looks the part of a great BB player!! I was really late at school yesterday so I took a peak at the blog this morning, but got to run> Love you all. Good to talk to Dad. No, I don,t have an idea I'll go get Grandpa and see if he knows.
