Happy Halloween

Trick or treat! Before we went out to collect candy, we carved a pumpkin. We named him Ed the Pumpkinhead.




Then we got dressed up to go out. Here you can see us in our costumes.




Lo and behold! Who should show up but a new homeowner and her rowdy band. They quickly replaced one costume with another and Jack Bomb - my brother became a dinosaur! I often feel patriotic, but today when free candy rains down, I feel especially lucky to be an American. So I, M, have started the tradition of saying the Pledge of Allegiance before heading out. You can see Aunt JKC supported me.


We then commenced the trick or treating.



Soon, though, we both started to tire, so we made our way home to look at loot! Here I am with my first Pixie Stick!


Thanks for helping us trick or treat, Aunt JKC, Aunt K, and Uncle B.

J is a real quick change artist and M is the one and only Minnie Mouse.
Happy Trick or Treating!
Love,

Don't know which of J's costumes is cuter! Glad you got so much loot, and are proud to be an American.

M, you look darling and so does your brother, JC...in both of his costumes!

When I read this post I thought of your former Halloween post in which you announced, "Oh, snap...I just found a Snickers."

Too cute...looks like you guys had a great Halloween!

B would be extremely jealous of M. She LOVES Minnie with a passion. Anything that is red or pink and polka dotted is Minnie. Who knows how she knows that because we own nothing Disney, but whatever.
Love you lots!

I had to laugh about the pledge--awesome!! We got a lot of pixie sticks this year as well. Love the darling costumes. Alyssa informed me a couple of days before Halloween that next year she wants to be Minnie or a princess. Why do we have to already be thinking about next year?!
