Belated Boo!

We had a fabulous Halloween, especially because we got to celebrate it 3 times, that's right, 3 times. Great for the kids, exhausting for the mom and 3 times means waaaayyyy too much candy. When we asked McKenna what her favorite candy is she answered, "Trick or Treat candy".

We did fit in the traditional pumpkin carving and McKenna choose a poodle dog and Bailey did stars. I have found that if I project the pumpkin carving onto a wall I get a better shot of what it looks like and it is a cool effect.


The band was tasked to work on Halloween night which at first I was frustrated with. But in the end it turned out to be a fabulous party, thankfully the shop was gracious enough to let the band families tag along. The band went all out in their costumes. I especially liked the fact that Paul, our guitar player, invited his sister Helga to sit in for a bit. She was a little off though, what with all the mug tipping. But she hit all the notes . . . at least I think she did.



The girls really surprised me while going around the cars to get their treats. This shop went all out with trunk decor. Even I thought a couple were a little unnerving, but the girls? Well, see for yourself: (I promise, these are my girls, not someone else's dressed up like MY girls) That trick or treat candy must be reeealllly good.




At the end of the night, McKenna got the best treat of all. She was put in charge of a cute little bumble bee. She dropped her treat bucket without a second glance.

And what did we do when we got home? Well, we ate candy of course! Lots, and lots of candy. Then we felt a little like this:

Aaahh, nothing like the feel of sugar, hydrogenated oil and high fructose corn syrup to warm your belly, er, I mean, to turn your belly into a cauldron of crap! Happy Halloween!
