Halloween

Had a pretty good Halloween this week -- but a bit different.

Jeff is in South Dakota on a hunting trip so he missed out.  Stacy and the kids had gone to Oklahoma over the weekend and, because of the way Halloween fell this year, it wasn't possible for all of the kids to get together for Halloween this year.  That might be a first, actually.  I didn't even get to see Jack and Anna in costumes this year.  But, they had their own Halloween fun on the airplane when the flight steward made crowns for them out of peanut packets.

 

 Ian and Alex (with Mom and Dad) came over, though.  Ian was an Army Ranger (suitably attired in camo) and Alex was Hawkeye (from The Avengers).  After doing some trick-or-treating of their own, they came back to get warm and have some pizza.  Then, they helped me distribute treats to all of the kids that came to the door.  There was a couple of baseball competitions on the Wii before they headed home with their candy.

We ended up having between 80 and 90 kids, which is pretty average I think.  Went through quite a lot of candy (Alex was giving it out by the handful), but there is still more left than I'd like.  Guess I'll be eating Halloween candy this week!
