Halloween 2009

The boys made good use of their costumes this year, wearing them many, many times before actually trick or treating. We even went to a haunted house - which by the way is NOT a good idea for a 4 year old and two year old. We had to run through the place holding the kids and closing their eyes while they screamed. I of course was REALLY pregnant and had a balloon tied to my diaper bag and I am holding Cody. My balloon got caught on a spider web right next to the guy cutting off his hand with a loud chainsaw. It took me a couple of minutes to get it untied and I thought I might have to take Cody to therapy after the whole event. Once we finally got out we laughed and laughed and laughed. We will do it again - when they are in high school.

We had a blast in our new neighborhood this year, I bet there were 150-200 kids. I went through 6 bags of candy! We took the boys just around the loop in our street and their bags were so full and heavy when they got back. They will be eating candy for a whole year I am sure.
