Halloween 2011

 My November resolution is to get my pictures on my blog! This fall has been crazy and I look back and it's been almost a month since I posted pictures. That is not going to work for those dear friends and family who look here to see what we are doing! So I'm committed to getting caught up!
Halloween was awesome! The kids had been so excited all month! Too long and strange of a story to explain but I had to run out on a little emergency right when we were getting ready to take pictures. I threw the camera at Bill and he did a pretty good job. The only issue was Erin developed a really bad tummy ache right when they were heading out so she is MIA in the pictures. She laid down for a little while and then came jumping down the steps and said, "this cowgirl is ready to go trick or treating!" So off we went.
We had quite the crowd which was really fun for the kids to split up and go with friends. The girls had 10 in their group and had quite the night.

 My time has flown! They are into scary and creepy, gone are the days of the butterfly wings they wore.

 Boys just love to be scary. Ethan loves to coat himself in face paint. This year he skipped all of the rest of his costume and headed out painted with sprayed hair. Kyle was Darth Maul and loved it. So glad he ended up going out with his friends. He was concerned he was too old. Your never too old if you still dress up!

 Our group before heading out. What a great looking group!

Whatever was troubling her tummy went away and she had a great night!

 The big girls had a blast!

 So, Bill charges every trick or treater 2 Snickers (this is an every year thing). It's his way of teaching the taxation system to the kids at a young age, at least that's what he says! With 19 kids that was a ton of Snickers. The funny thing about it was those who still needed to "pay" wanted to be sure if they put it in his bowl that they would receive credit for payment if he wasn't around.

 On the other hand Jay rounds up candy that people don't like and passes it out to those who do. Hmmm??
