Halloween

It is that time again! 

The boys love Halloween and lots of thought goes into our costumes each year.  They have to be our most favorite thing in the whole world.  Plus, the candy!!!!  I mean, who doesn't love candy?!?

But like most other years, the boys have a blast running around the playground at the neighborhood party and then only want to trick or treat for about 1/2 an hour or so.  Then we come home and they delight in handing out candy to the kids that come to our door.  Not so many since the first half of the street keeps its lights out (I don't think old people like Halloween, I'm just sayin....).  But mommy likes it quiet!

Here are some pics of the fun...



The house is ready for action...




















Mom and the kids carve the pumpkins.





















Jills wants to see what all the fuss is about.





















My favorite, the puking pumpkin!  Hey, you have to liven it up somehow!






Our normal pumpkins.  Jake carved the small ones with his Cub Scout pocket knife.





The whole gang is ready to go to the neighborhood party.  Jake is Master Chief from Halo, Josh is Toad from Mario Brothers, and Jill is Cinderella.  Minus the crown.





Jake looks darn good!





And now, as before, a visit to Halloweens gone by....



























Josh as Boba Fett and Jake as a Clone Trooper, 2008.




























Josh as a race car driver (Kyle Busch, shocker) and Jake as a Fire Ninja, 2007.





































Jake as the Red Power Ranger, Josh as a garbage man.  Yes, you read that right.  Sigh...., 2006
