Halloween 2009

So Halloween has come and gone. Here are some of the highlights from this year. I do have to say that I was quite proud:
Thomas the Train costume handed down from cousin.......... $0.00
Dinosaur costume handed down from brother........................ $0.00
Knowing you didn't pay a dime on costumes........................... Priceless

Joel with our neighbor at the church Halloween party.

Saturday morning Pa called to see if he could take the boys to the park because it was such a beautiful day. What he meant was that it was about 8:30 in the morning and it was 90 degrees yet. Unfortunately by the time we got ready and he made it to the house it was about 9:30 and the beautiful day had passed and it was a billion degrees outside. Luckily there was a breeze and so we walked over to a neighborhood park and played for a little while.

I think Joel got his daddy's rock climbing gene.

Here are pictures of Halloween night. We were fortunate to be invited to trick or treat with some friends who have a really great neighborhood for trick or treating. While we only made it about 1/2 a block the boys got their fill of trick or treating, were scared by some older boys' costumes, were brave at facing said scary costumes and got WAY too much candy. We then headed over to Nama's house where the boys went on a treasure hunt for their treat from Nama and Pa. It was a fun night.

Just for fun here's a flashback photo to Halloween 2007 when the dinosaur costume made it's premier.
