Happy Halloween

Halloween always is a bit of a challenge for us in our household...not for any moral issues, but rather, because it's Abby's birthday.

This year, we ended up spent the evening with some good friends of ours.  We headed there for dinner and cupcakes, and then took the kids trick-or-treating.  This was the first time we'd ever been trick-or-treating in town, so it was quite the experience for our girls.  It was great weather (no snow!!), and we had a very fun time walking and talking and watching the kids get free candy!
 Our girls...the 2 cowgirls, the fairy princess, and the scarecrow
 the whole brood...add in another princess, buzz light year and a glow stick girl
 The scarecrow...with a 5 ft. arm span
 The little girls were gun-ho, and outran the big girls
 By the end of the night, Hannah had learned how to maneuver her masterpiece.  I kept saying that this was a Dad's costume idea...completely cool but totally impractical
 "Trick-or-Treat!"
 Here's the mother lode...we weighed it when we got home, and it was whopping 33 lbs. of candy.  Hooray for Halloween....lots of candy for me...I mean the Girls....!
