Halloween Photos

I've got photos from Halloween!

It was good night. I didn't get home as early as I wanted, but everything worked out anyway. Heather took the kids out for the first round of Trick-or-Treating. And after a brief stop at home to pick up Dad and a bigger umbrella, Ian and Emma were ready to head out again.

Ian, Emma, Zoe, and I toured many blocks in search of candy. We went all around the new subdivision that has been built up behind where we live.

After a few years of being a little tentative about going up to houses and seeing kids in scary costumes, Ian and Emma have finally broken through. They were running around like the best of them, boldly going up to the houses and ringing the bell or knocking on the door. Zoe even got into the mix. I had to hold her, but she would go up to the door and say, "Tree-Tree" and try to hold her bag out. She seemed to really enjoy it.

Back at home we dried off and the kids started digging through their loot. They brought in some good candy this year, and seemed to be content with the amount. The one exception being the cheap-ass who was giving out small bags of crackers - the kind you receive at a restaurant. Emma thought they were neat, so I guess it wasn't too bad.

My Dad stopped by for his regular Halloween visit. It's always nice to have him stop by for a few minutes. The kids really enjoy seeing him on Halloween. It's somebody new to show off their costumes and candy to.

Click through any of the thumbnail shots to go see my Flickr photo set for Halloween. If I get time, I'll consolidate the photos in the Photos section of my site. But with less time to update sections other than the blog, I'm not sure when that will happen.
