Trick or Treat

Ok, finally some Halloween pictures! I was AMAZED at the craziness of Halloween in our neighborhood. I've always been surprised by how people in the Midwest decorate their houses for the fall and for Halloween, but I've never been out and about on Halloween to witness the madness.

Getting ready for trick or treating.....

We stopped at a couple of our neighbor's houses

And then climbed in the wagon to check out the rest of the neighborhood

People were barbecuing in their driveways

John McCain asked the babies for their votes

Look in the background at the masses of trick-or-treaters. It was NEVER like this in Texas!

Yards were turned into cemeteries

And Gavin and Emery were WOUND UP by the time we got home at 6:45. They were running in circles as we were trying to get them ready for bed. You would've thought we let them eat a bag of candy. In reality, I swapped candy for Teddy Grahams, which worked out pretty well.

Their costumes were a hit. Most people knew right away that they were Pebbles and Bam Bam. Gavin was chewing on his club most of the time. One guy thought it was a cigar, which would have been funny, but possibly inappropriate. :-)

Overall, it was a success!
