Halloween 2010

We had a great Halloween this year! We were lucky to have Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and Mr. Firetruck Man join us. :)  We love how Sawyer calls a firefighter a "fire truck man".

Our Firetruck Man

Neither kid was very excited about trick or treating this year.  They went to a few houses, but had more fun handing out the candy and seeing all the other kids dressed up in costume. Sawyer thought the costumes were real.  He was enthralled with the robots or "bo-bots" as he calls them.  He also thought it was pretty cool that the real firemen in our town drive around and hand out candy.  They really liked him too and thought his costume was one of the best!

Hallie's new friend, Emily, went trick or treating with us.  Of course, I didn't get a picture of them together, but they were super cute and had a good time.

 In our neighborhood, everyone sits outside by their firepit and hands out candy.  It's pretty fun! Apparently, it is a Missouri tradition to tell a joke while trick or treating.  Everyone kept asking the kids if they knew a joke, so Hallie would make one up on the spot. (What do spiders eat for breakfast?  Leggs!! :) OR How do you fix a broken jack o lantern?  With a pumpkin patch!! :)

The G's and Bethany came over to eat roasted hot dogs and chili. We also had cake to celebrate Sawyer's birthday.  He picked a Thomas the Train cake.  It was good!

I think this is one of the worst pictures ever taken of me, but all the guys look good, so I am taking one for the team here.  I am just now trying to figure out this blog stuff, so maybe next I will move on to photoshop so I can learn to just cut myself out of pics like this!

It was a fun night with family, friends and lots of candy!
