Happy All Saints Day

Did you all enjoy a happy Halloween? Are you full of candy? Can you believe it is November? Our Halloween was spectacular, I am stuffed with chocolates, and I can't hardly believe "the holidays" are upon us. This is the first year Normy was excited to dress up. This is him trying on his costume the day before for a trial run. Can you see the enthusiasm?


Georgia was not nearly as thrilled with her hand-me-down get-up.


Which was strikingly similar to her brother's response to the costume a year earlier.


We spent Halloween with our dear friends and former neighbors, which was the real treat of the night. I think this will become our yearly tradition for as long as we live in Omaha. Our current neighborhood isn't exactly great for trick or treating. Where as our old neighborhood goes all out for the holiday. Nearly every other house is decorated. Van loads of kids from other neighborhoods drive over to see the outrageous decorations and get in on the massive candy give away that goes on. The homeowners don't even stay inside their houses. Everyone sits on their porch to pass out the candy because there is so much traffic. To go inside and expect to wait for the door bell would be futile. So, the whole event turns into a giant block party. My kids loved it.

Notice, Georgia was a train engineer as well. She simply was not having the gator costume!



More than actually trick-or-treating themselves, the kids LOVED passing out the candy.

Awesome... I love the matching conductor costumes. Georgia's right, much better than the gator. We had a great time as well. There is a similar street here too. It totally rocked, the spooky houses and the crowds of dressed up kids. Mikey loved it, after each house he looked to us and said, 'more house Mommy'! Anyhow, Happy Halloween. We miss you guys.

I think it's time to make a pair of boots out of the Alligator.
