Trick or Treat!

First of all let me wish all you a very Happy Halloween!!! Last night was the night for trick or treating in our area... I know, pretty stupid, but I guess for as long as anyone can remember our town always trick or treats on the Thursday night of Halloween week. Makes no sense!!! Anyway, the kids had a BLAST! It's so fun to see them get so into it, the older they get the more fun they seem to have.. It was a good night. Maria was Pocahontas, Lillian was Abby Cadabby (from Sesame Street) and of course Mikey was Peyton Manning... for the second Halloween in a row.. I am such a bad mommy.. We were going to make a tractor costume for him but it never happened.. 2 nights before trick or treating I finally gave up on the idea and figured he's little enough he won't care if he wears the same costume another year! Mike wanted me to post pics of the actual characters so you can judge how close we came.. I think we did very well, and all I had to buy was purple hair coloring and a black wig.. We had all the other stuff.. Bonus!!! (saves money!) I have to say that this year I have been very lacksidasical about Halloween. I don't know why, but I just haven't seemed to care as much this year. I need to try harder. From the turnout of trick or treaters last night (we only had about 30 kids..) it seems I am not the only one who hasn't been into the whole Halloween thing. Very disappointing.. I like seeing all the costumes! On the plus side, I have a ton of candy for just me now! Happy Halloween!
