Halloween Night

Halloween night was a big hit.  JP was especially excited this year.  He designed a "Game Box" costume and I did my best to create it.   It had a Tic Tac Toe game on the front and a Dart Ball game on the back.  Joe said JP got many compliments walking around the neighborhood because it was such an original costume.  The day before Halloween JP asked me to make lines for a number grid for him.  He wanted 105.  He filled in all the numbers and then told us that he wanted to go to 105 houses on Halloween (I have no idea how he came up with that number).  Joe carried the list for him and crossed off each house.  He was able to make it to 60 which I think was still quite impressive!

The trio went to about 7 houses on our street and said "Trick or Treat" at each one.  They also got in a lot of "Thank yous" too!  They loved it and especially loved all the candy.  After they got home I let them each have about 4 pieces.  Oh my, I have never seen them act like this before.  Crazy!  Running around,dancing and singing songs to the Trick or Treaters.  They had fun passing out the candy and took turns putting it in everyone's bags.  I had about 550 pieces of candy this year and really only handed out one piece unless we knew the kids.  We were done again by 7:30.  Hundreds of kids came to our door within 2.5 hours!  Trick or Treat in our neighborhood is always so much fun!

Here's the trio seeing our new flying ghost decoration for the first time!
