Halloween Fun

I know this picture is fuzzy, but I love it!

So, as you know, Halloween is always quite the event in our house.  Larry has done his part in decorating the house with all the requisite spider webs and strobe lights.  The kids chose their costumes early enough to have them all here on time.  There are parties and trick or treating many days this week.  And last night was the first.  Our good friends and neighbors threw their annual Halloween Pumpkin carving/ petting zoo/ chili/ hang out in the culdesac until dark party and it was great fun. 

This is what Kierstin looked like toward the end of the night, playing with animals and chasing kids and eating all kind of treats.  She started out looking more like the last picture, though that did not last long.


Kyra looked beautiful in her fairy costume, though, once again, all of the extras did not stay on for long, as you can see in the first picture.  It turns out they were just too concerned about the fact that there weren't very many kids in costume.

Kaden was in his Indiana Jones costume for about 15 minutes until he realized that he was the only one of his age group in costume, and he promptly returned home to change.  He did have a great time taking pictures of all of the animals and kids on our street.   And then there was Kierstin.  She was so cute in this little costume, that in no way reflects her personality as she is just wonderful.  Kimball had NO desire to have his picture taken, but he did stay and hang out with us for the evening.  It was a great night and the perfect beginning to this week of celebrations.
