It is a different land here in Arizona on Halloween. It becomes a neighborhood block party. (Well, not our neighborhood, we had to go a few streets over. But the cops tried to arrest our neighbor right before we left to go trick-or-treating). Neighbors set up tables in their driveway, have games to play, s'mores to roast and dancing to do. One house had their Nintendo Wii projected onto the garage and trick-or-treater's stopping to play. Christian was all over that one.
Here are the kids in their Halloween costumes. Katie was a Fairy and Christian was once again Buzz Lightyear, his cartoon hero. It wasn't until later that I realized Katie's costume was sleeveless. She had a jacket on before we left. Kinda funny, she danced in that, so it was never a question on modesty when doing that, like swimming. Never thought about it in a costume way. Just thought it and wrote it. If I pointed it out to her she would probably be mortified.
We had a lot of fun. Christian wanted to go home after a while because we had "too much" candy. When we got home he went in and got himself ready for bed. Katie stayed out with us while we talked to some of our nice neighbors across the street. Such a social creature like her Mom. She doesn't want to miss a thing. They are so precious. It is fun to see share these experiences with them.
Happy Halloween!

I love the first picture of Katie getting ready to stab the pumpkin.
Wow, living in a shady neighborhood where cops arrest the neighbor. I like it - it sounds suspiciously like my neighborhood.
And I would have never thought that her costume was "immodest." Not even after you said something! She's fine and cute!
Tell Christian anytime he feels like he has too much candy, he is more than welcome to drop some off at my house.
LOL, you would feel right at home here then! Don't worry, there are ready volunteers to help him with the candy right HERE! :) It's a parents dream. Katie hid hers last night. Apparently she has bad memories from last year :).
You didn't mention what happened to your neighbor last night when we saw you! Sounds like a great neighborhood you live in! (wink, wink!) So glad we were able to catch up with your cute family!
Let me tell you Katie, there is nothing like backing out of your driveway and seeing 6 cruisers on your street. I was trying to brush it off like it was no big deal with the kids last night, but today I let them know, it is not normal to have the cops on your street this often in these numbers. :) It is almost over though. We had a lot of fun last night, thanks for saving us on the bag!
