HALLOWEEN

Halloween is by far Steve's favorite holiday, so when it rolls around, he goes all out. He had his spook alley in our garage again this year. There were cars lined up and down our street all night. He added a new thing this year. He projected some scary Halloween scenes to music onto our front window. We had people sitting on our front lawn just watching the movie. The kids and I were trick-0r-treating with Laci and Brent and their kids, so we missed most of it. We filled each bucket though and the kids had a lot of fun.

Steve's spook alley costume. His theme was aliens, so he was suppose to be some kind of scientist doing research on a meteore or something?!? And yes, we did give almost all of that candy away.

Zach and Paula are always great to come and help out in the spook alley. We hope they actually like it and don't just feel obligated to do it. Either way we appreciate them! We also roped my mom and Gina into running the gate. Thanks for being such good sports and for freezing to death all night-sorry! The best part of the above picture is Laci in the background trying to be funny. OK, it was funny!!! Just look at her face. Classic.

Here are my little ghosts and goblins. Breeley is, of course, Hannah Montana. Keaton is Elmo and Chase is a bleeding skeleton. He's really proud of the bleeding part, and yes, it actually bled down his chest-gross!

This was right after the Halloween parade at the elementary school. Steve dressed up and walked with Chase's class. I dressed up as a queen, in case you couldn't tell, and walked with Breeley's class. It was a lot of fun and a little embarassing all at the same time. Keaton had not dressed up quite yet.

The kids carved their pumpkins the night before Halloween. They have lots of fun, except Keaton won't touch the inside of the pumpkin to clean it out. He thinks it's really yucky.
