Halloween Costume Excitement!

The Witch with her brood!

Mom with Mustard and Ketchup!

I'd love him to put out MY fire, wouldn't you?

Our precious Baby!

The Mad Scientist!

Ready to rumble!

Prettiest Witch Ever!
Little Mustard's not feeling too well!

It was so fun to go up to Cindy and DJ's Halloween afternoon before their trunk or treat. They were all getting their costumes on and excitement was in the air! The most excitement was when Cindy disappeared in the bedroom to don her Witch costume. The kids waited with anticipation as she stepped out for all to view! They were so excited she dressed up! I just love Halloween costumes. Our other big hit was our little Mustard and Ketchup bottles with their cute little hats! They didn't think the hats were too great, but we certainly did! Each of the kids chose something so cute and seemed pretty thrilled with their choices. Morgan, however, will probably not choose to be a football player again as that darned equipment is soooo heavy! She sure did look cute, however! Thanks for letting us join in the fun!
We didn't know what time we would return because we wanted to stop and see Mom, too, so I sent my candy bowl for the trunk or treat with my neighbor and then left a big bowl of candy on the porch for those who came to the house. Just left a sign in it that said "Take One, Please, Have a Happy Halloween!" I told Greg that it would be interesting to see when we got home if the bowl was empty very early (emptied by one person!). But to my genuine delight, it was half full! Confirmed my faith in the youth today...pretty darn awesome kids! When we turned the lights out about 8:30, there was still a little candy left in the bowl so I set it back out on the porch for the late-comers. The next morning, the empty bowl was tipped on it's side so people could see from the side-walk that the bowl was empty. I thought that was so thoughtful! It was just a great Halloween...even for us "oldies"!

I to think that Cindy is the cutest witch I ever did see. I love the picture of your mom, what a doll.

Cute post, Mom! Your pics of the kids turned out much better than mine, so I'll be stealing a few. Thanks for coming up! It was so fun to see you and it warmed my heart to see how friendly the babies were with you and dad!
