The Happiest Halloween

I didn't upload these in the right order, but that's okay. Here is the end of the night. Jack sitting in front of all the candy trying to figure out how to get into the wrappers.

Here is Harry Potter. Aiden wanted to be as close to the real Harry as possible. Including the black hair. When he went to school his teacher said it took her a couple of seconds to recognize him with his hair and glasses-so the costume was a success.


Here is my frog-man Jack. He wouldn't sit still for a picture. This costume has gone through Aiden, Eliza and now Jack. Way worth the $20 I spent six years ago. :)


And here is Tinker Bell. The first time I asked Eliza what she wanted to be she said Tinker Bell and never strayed from that decision. She was so cute. And is was so warm she went all around Halloween night like this and wasn't cold! Perfect.


And here are my three cute kids. This is the best picture that I took. I couldn't get Jack to cooperate, but that's not unusual. It was a great Halloween.
A side note. We never did carve my dad's pumpkin (we never got another minute), but on Saturday morning I woke up to go to yoga and it was in the gutter in front of our house. When I got home I told Russell and he said that whoever tried to take it probably broke their back because it was so heavy and just left it there. A couple of hours later our neighbor Julie called and said that about 11pm on Halloween she was getting ready for bed and she saw some teenagers walking up the our sidewalk. She said that she could tell we were asleep all of the lights were out, so she ran downstairs and they have an intercom system, she turned on the outside one just as they were carrying it down the walk. She said in her roughest voice "Hey, what are you doing?" They stopped and looked around and didn't see anyone so they kept going then Julie said "I'm calling the cops" and they dropped the pumpkin in the street (it didn't break) and they ran away. I thought that was so funny. Thanks Julie for keeping an eye on my house.
So big pumpkin is back up on the porch in one piece and Aiden said today, "I think we should still carve it."
