Tricking and Treating

The clouds parted to show us a nearly full moon tonight as we sat in the driveway handing out candy to the masses. I thought it looked particularly spooky. However, it was warm and somewhat humid. But Trav and I read our books and enjoyed ourselves. Lots and lots of tricksters out there tonight!!
Last night we had two parties to go to. First we went to Tiffany's party. She is friend from work. Then we had to go get Roz from a birthday party and deliver her to another friend's house where they were watching spooky movies. Next we went to over to Lani's house for her party. As you can see, i was Cyndi Lauper and Trav was Billy Idol. We were awesome.
So, back to tonight...Rozzie had gone to a party down the street and they all went trick-or-treating together. We heard them all the way down the street and I said to Trav, "I hear Rozzie's group coming." Sure enough, they were closing in on us. They were having a great time.
Then we waited patiently for Maddie and her friend to come along. Maddie is already home and has sorted her candy, showered, and gone to bed. Still waiting for Roz.
Morgan and her friend Rachel celebrated Hallowchristmas tonight by baking Christmas cookies and watching Christmas movies. Ours is not to judge! They had a great time and did a lot of laughing. They continue to chat in the kitchen!

So that is Halloween 2009. It was a good one. We went through a lot of candy. We get an extra hour of sleep tonight. I'm pretty happy about that!!

I wondered what the "hallowchristmas" thing was. Now I know! Sounds like a great new tradition was born.

Love the Halloween pics of the youngers!

And you and Trav look extra special--it is so cool that Travis dressed up!

TOTALLY appropriate word ver: spine! As in spine-tingling for Halloween!

Fun costumes, Jen and Trav. Love that picture of the moon...way cool! That's too funny that Maddie already had all her candy sorted and put away. When I was that age I would just stash it somewhere and forget about each day until I needed a fix.
