Halloween!

We had a great time on Halloween!  We went trunk or treating at a church in our neighborhood, then over to some friends for apple cider, trick or treating around the neighborhood and then over to visit Grandma and Grandpa.  We were all worn out by the time we got home. In fact, Tater fell asleep in the car. 

We carved pumpkins Thursday night when Twitch got home.  He has been working out of town for 3 weeks and the boys were so excited to see him.

 

He has been wearing these vampire teeth no stop since Monday

 

In honor of his Dad, the plumber, Rooster chose a slightly offensive pumpkin.  Twitch should have been the one talked about in the debate.  Dave the plumber sounds so much better than Joe the plumber (or maybe I'm a bit biased) but he is a licensed plumber who would have revealed in the "exposure" ha ha.  Did you hear that Joe just hired a management company to handle all the request for appearances? Crazy!

 

Rooster aka Slash - He wrote his Hero paper in school about Slash and his Dad

 

Tater aka Indiana Jones.  He loves the movies!

Hope you all had a great Halloween!

Halloween Costumes

I finally got the kid's costumes done this weekend. 

Rooster is dressing up as Slash from Guns N' Roses or lately from Velvet Revolver but it will always be Guns N' Roses for me. 

Tater is dressing up as Indiana Jones.  I'm not thrilled with the hat we found for him but he likes it so that's what counts. 

I'm excited that this year is going to be so easy on me.  Usually, I do a lot of makeup and latex so this year will be a breeze.

I don't know if other areas have trunk or treats or not but that's what we will be doing Friday night.  It makes me a little sad that my kids don't go around the neighborhoods for hours like I did when I was a kid but then again they don't know any different.  We always do the trunk or treat, our immediate neighborhood, and then around the neighborhood I grew up in. 

In case you're wondering what a trunk or treat is, a church or school in the area opens up their parking lot for everyone to park and pass out candy from their trunks.  Most people decorate their trunks and some years we've had hot chocolate, cookies and a haunted house.
