Halloween!

We started the morning with a costume parade at James' school.

Isabel started her morning by dressing in last years costume! (She stayed in this ALL day - deciding to give up the sleeping beauty costume.)
My little pumpkin!

There he is! After the parade, the kids danced the monster mash and purple people eater for us. It was fun! The school had also built a maze in the gym for the kids to explore during PE. James talked about it ALL afternoon!

Mental Note: if you like to pass out candy to strangers on Halloween, don't move to the country. We had ZERO trick or treaters this year. BUT, I have decided this is actually a good thing! First, it's a save in $'s otherwise spent on sugar. Second, we can board up the ranch next year and JL can walk around with us!

Lucky for us, we happen to live near enough to a neighborhood that is known for being fabulous on Halloween night. We met up with a group of our friends and sent the kids out!

The neighborhood didn't disappoint.! It was like stepping back in time! All the homes are styled like a quaint, old-school neighborhood. Big porches, hanging eves, picket fences - it's cute just on its own. But on Halloween, everyone pulls out decoration upon decoration and the streets are lined with children! It was fabulous! Spooky music was playing at nearly every porch, the occupants dressed in costume sitting in rockers ready to heap out loads of candy to the kids!

See what I mean!










Everyone had a great time!!
