Just Tricks no Treats

The kids refrained from trick or treating this year which meant I got to enlist them in my yearly quest to scare the neighborhood trick or treaters. James was a natural! He came up with the idea to hide behind our blowie and yell boo as he jumped out at people approaching the porch. He thought it was so funny when the kids would scream! (I really don't know where he gets this from!) Izzy took great delight in handing out HANDFULLS of candy to the kids wearing princess costumes and telling them how much she loved their princess costume. Usually it went something like this:

"Look Mom! It's Sweeping Booty!" She would then grab a huge handfull of candy, walk over the unsuspecting princess and yell "I love your costume - happy Halloween!" (Except for the time she said Happy Birthday then giggled!) hehe

We all sat out on the bench and waited for the action to start

Several kids stood on the sidewalk and refused to approach the house because it was so scary
I personally don't see what the big whoop was. Ok, I admit - it's pretty good!
