Halloween 2011

We had a great Halloween this year! We’d heard that our neighborhood is popular with the trick-or-treaters, and that is no joke! Here are the Jack-o’-Lantern and the Ghost as we started out.

Ezra Jack-o'-Lantern and Finn Ghost

Ready to go!

The first stop was a house down the street with a couple of kids Ezra and Finn have befriended.

Ezra had a bit of hard time getting up the stairs in his costume and the pumpkin got heavy pretty quickly. Bruce carried it a lot. And sometimes he wore it.

The second house was super spooky (according to Finn) and the boys loved it.

What a cute little ghost.

After meeting up with the Goodmans, Fowlers and Carters, we hit this house on Michigan where the owner did magic tricks for the kids. As Ezra said, “That was SO cool!”

After about another block, the boys were done — Finn had stepped on his costume and ripped it, making it even harder to walk in. Ezra was tired of the heavy pumpkin. And they were both ready to start handing out candy at home. Here they are waiting for customers.

And here’s one of the many rushes.

They liked to inspect all the candy before giving it out.

We got lots of compliments on our spider and our jack-o’-lanterns. All in all a very good evening!
