Halloween

Now that it's almost Thanksgiving, I thought I'd better get around to posting our Halloween pictures! The kids had such a fun day. We kept busy, and they trick or treated their little hearts out.

When they woke up on Halloween morning, they couldn't wait to put their costumes on. It was all I could do to get them to eat breakfast first!

Ever since they told me what they wanted to be for Halloween, they have all been role playing their parts. They were all looking forward to dressing up, but I have to say, I think Jason was the most excited of the three. He would (and still will) only drink out of a green cup because he is Yoda and Yoda is green, etc... So, when he finally got to put on his Yoda costume, you would have though that he had just died and gone to his own personal Star Wars heaven. He was so happy! He kept looking at himself in the mirror, and, when he wasn't checking himself out in disbelief, he was running around jumping and yelling, "I am Yoda, I am Yoda".

I took the boys to go see their dad at work. They were all supposed to dress up in 80's garb. Chris found this killer suit at the DI, of course.

After visiting Chris, we went to the shops on main street with Sarah, Claire, Chris's cousin, and her cute kids.

The boys at our Trunk or Treat.

After our Trunk or Treat, we went to the mall and then went over to the Owens' house. They invited us to stay for dinner, and of course we couldn't could pass that up! I absolutely love the Owens family. Janet is one of my most favorite people in the world. She probably doesn't know that, but it's true. I have always looked up to and respected her a great deal. She is fun to be around, and I learn something new from her every time I talk to her. The problem is, the only time we get to hang out is when we sell or buy a house, and we probably won't be doing that again any time soon!

On our way home from the Owens' house, we stopped at the "Halloween house". The owners of this house spend almost an entire month getting it ready for Halloween and it is amazing! Next year I will have to take a picture and post it. The boys wanted to drive or walk by it every day last month to check on the progress. Jason and Adam were both fascinated and terrified by this house, and Isaac thought it was the coolest thing he had ever seen! We got the full effect walking around it on Halloween night. Adam and Jason cried almost the whole time, but, it was totally worth it! After that, the boys begged me to take them over to the condos where we used to live so they could go trick or treating some more- Isaac told me that it was a tradition and we had to do it. I was reluctant to go, but glad that we did. They were so cute! They would run up to the door, wait for Jason to get there, ring the doorbell, and giggle when Jason would yell as loud as he could "trick or treat, please give me something to eat!". We should probably teach him the rest of the poem for next year.
