Halloween Confessions...

I trick-or-treated until I was a Junior in high school. To justify why we deserved to collect candy, we sang a barber shop quartet with Halloween lyrics every time we knocked. I say everyone should trick or treat until they are 18 because it's better than bag snatching or drinking. When someone feels they are too old to trick or treat it's gotta be one of the saddest days of their childhood! Maybe it's just the Peter Pan in me.

After Halloween as a youth we'd grab people's rotting pumpkins and toss them out our car door to roll them down some reeeeally steep roads while following behind them. They would bounce in and out of people's yards at 20mph catching 10 ft. air! We'd laugh so hard we'd pee our pants. The list of stupid things I did as a teenager could go on and on...

Here are my cuties, Halloween 2008!!!!











































Chad has always wanted to be Albert Einstein and it fits perfectly...the brains, the quirkiness.


















Russ was so busy passing out candy he decided to put a headlamp on, park by the front door, and read a book for 3 hours:














The End

Sarah exclaimed skipping through the parking lot, "I'm going to faint from happiness and yumminess!" We made this together at Super Saturday and attended a craft fair:
While we were gone the girls had fun with a make believe choo choo train:THE END!
