Halloween was a lot of fun here this year. The kids are starting to be old enough to be excited about wearing costumes and look forward to trick-or-treating. And the whole week leading up to the holiday they loved trying to scare anyone they could, either by sneaking up on an unsuspecting victim, repeating flipping the light switch, or disguising themselves as ghosts using whatever piece of material was handiest at the time (sheet, older sibling's clothes, towel, whatever). The kids also enjoyed painting their own mini-pumpkins while Joshua carved our big one to spooky perfection.
For Halloween itself, we went to the tri-ward Trunk-or-Treat held inside our church building held the weekend before. There was a haunted house, a cupcake walk, and some hot dogs and hot chocolate outside, if you were tough enough to hang out in the below freezing weather to eat them (we were, kind of, if you count sitting in the car toughing it out). Then on Halloween itself we did a little trick-or-treating at the mall and then down a street by our house. Unfortunately a snow storm hit that evening, so the escapade was shortened a bit by that.
A Bat, a Pirate, and Snow White
The bat didn't want to stand around for any more pictures after he finished his apple.

I LOVE Ethan's costume! Honestly, that has got to be the coolest pirate costume I've ever seen. Glad everybody had fun! Halloween is one of those holidays that is like 1000 times better with kids. (Actually, I think most of them are like that.)
