halloween

Excuse me while I go back in time...

We had a fun Halloween this year. A friend of mine had a big Halloween party at her house and just did a fantastic job (top picture). Everyone showed up in costume and brought something to eat. The kids had a ball playing hide-and-go-seek in the dark and keeping warm by the bonfire. She also had a storyteller, a fortune teller, and a "spook alley". This was also the first year we took the kids trick-or-treating door to door. It took them a couple of houses to get warmed up, but then they were off and running on their own. Shane, Lisa, and Paige came for a visit a few weeks later and rescued us from the mountains of candy we acquired!
