Halloween 2011.

This year we had a witch (who was feeling under the weather), a ninja, a vampire and a . . .Jack in the box. He he.


Little witch not feeling so hot. Turned out she had strep throat. So did the Owen and Luke. They were incredibly motivated by candy though and didn't let a little infection get in their way! The Tylenol kicked in about thirty minutes after this was taken though, so she did end up enjoying the evening.

Little witch was so excited about her costume. It came in the mail about five days before Halloween. She wore it approximately fifteen hours each day for those five days. Even the hat. It. was. SO. freaking. CUTE.


Our Vampire. Owen took till the last minute this year to decide what to be. It's kind of sad, he didn't really even want to dress up. But upon learning that if you don't dress up you don't get candy. . .he wised up.


Deadly ninja. Luke wore the costume around the house the entire day it came in the mail, even sleeping in it. He was prepared for anything!


Posers.




The whole gang. Since we have no neighbors we invaded a neighboring neighborhood. Where we crushed our record for largest candy intake in under an hour.


Get it?


Time crept up on me as I scrambled to get Jack's costume (i.e., his hat) made with only an hour to spare. Thankfully Owen was pumped to make the box part of the costume.


Candy has kicked in.


Good times trick or treating, we mostly were with Lily and Jack, the boys would run a couple of houses ahead of us. Then they'd wait and we'd do a few together and then they would be off again. We enjoyed our time with everyone though, we know the years are fleeting and soon we won't get to go trick or treating with them. But for now we do, so we're enjoying the hell out of that.
