Halloween 2014

Halloween 2014.

It was an awesome sight.  The house was decorated to the nines (thanks Nancy!).  I got home late and the house was full of the sounds of guests and kids and screaming and cooking and madness.  And it didn’t stop.

We trick-or-treated from about 6:30 until 8:00.  We went with friends from the neighborhood.  There were 5 adults 6 kids (2 were at or below 2yrs of age).

Our first stop was at our neighbor’s house – Mr. Bill.  He started the evening off on a high note by giving out not one but two, FULL-SIZE Hershey’s chocolate bars.  Elizabeth didn’t let go of either of them for the rest of the night.  It completely destroyed her expectation and set the bar pretty high.  Although, once she figured out that people would put candy in her bucket for her, she would plop her purple pumpkin down in front of someone and say “put in der” meaning put your candy in my bucket!  She didn’t like the “choose your own candy” houses.

She did a great job keeping up with Abby and the older girls.  She demanded to walk as much as we would let her and the scary stuff didn’t really bother her.  She just looked at the ghouls and tried to figure out what was going on.  No crying or anything.

Abby had a ball.  She dressed as Peter Pan and she definitely got into the part.  I was Capt. Hook and she spent the entire night calling me a codfish.  Apparently, Capt Hook doesn’t like it when folks call him a codfish.

Here are some photos from the weekend.  Grand old times in the new house.

Enjoy,

Peter Pan in his attack pose. There’s a bit of ballerina in there too, right?

The classic Peter Pan Pose.

Getting ready to attack.

Unrelated to Halloween – this is Ellie’s new favorite toy. She dresses up like this with the guitar, turns it up to 11, and marches around the loft singing to the music. The song is only about 16 bars long and then it REPEATS! And she just lets it go…and go…and go…

More cuteness.

Nancy as Maleficent! Great costume. It deserved some special lighting. She looks great here!

Tinkerbell and Wendy. So adorable.

Trying to get Tink to do some magic.

More cuteness.

So adorable, these two.

Elizabeth just said something that Abby didn’t really like and Abby is putting her head in her hand exasperatedly. But, it kind of looks like a Peter Pan/Tink storyline.

I CAN FLY!!!

The ladies…so beautiful.

All of us…and my eye patch is on right!

The whole gang. I couldn’t run back and forth to the camera with only one eye so I had the eye patch up. Forgot to put it down for the pick. Regardless! We look great. Tricia outdid herself this year.
