Trick or Treating. 2010

We all got dressed up as usual in a hurry. I was a zoo keeper, Ellie was a butterfly and Elijah was the fireman that put out the fire at the zoo. Here you notice him pouting because I put black smudges on his face to represent the smoke and stuff from the fire.

We made the twins costumes from last year last an extra year. They were a bit tiny. But we made them stretch.. They looked so cute in them again this year. Though in this picture you can see there pure dislike of the whole situation, but it also didn't help that they were sick too. This was the best photo we could get of me and the boys together.

A photo of Elijah tickling me, Adriel trying to run away and Ellie not sure what to think about all of it. I was laughing so hard I could barely see.

This year like every year we all got dressed up, loaded the kids into strollers, grabbed our buckets and pillow case and headed out. Bound to get as much candy as possible. Our yield was big this year, but not nearly as big as years before. I believe much like everything else the rescission hit this to. But it's all good we still got enough for us and the kids and had fun too. We went to all the houses in our neighborhood and there was talk of going to the neighboring neighborhood, but after going door to door for about 40 minutes, Dad and I discovered neither of us had the energy to go much further. Talk about feeling old. Also the twins weren't really in the mood and our Ellie was getting tired. Elijah still had the energy to go though he was starting to get a bit tired. We convinced him to come inside with the promise of a bit of candy before he had to go to bed. Maybe we will try the other neighborhood next year. All in all we had fun and thats what matters...

Our poor victums of the hunt, The pumpkins.

The Victims of the Hunt
Pumpkins.

This is what happens when you drink too much.
Time for pumpkin rehab.

A view coming up our stairs, watch out that one pumpkin moves. He swiped his victims on the stairs there, you can still see the blood.



Chowing down on a bit of a snack, umm white pumpkin.



This guy is wondering why he has a headache, his little friend sitting on top of him knows why.


Okay so maybe we had a little too much fun with this whole pumpkin thing. But I thought it was pretty cool. Found a couple of the ideas off the internet, but the one with the mallet to the head was all mine. We had fun and Elijah thought it was cool. Was told some of neighborhood kids agreed with our Elijah.
