We had a very successful first Halloween at the Hayden House. Alex decided he was "too old" to go trick-or-treating and wanted to hand out candy to the little kids. He did a great job... for the first half-hour. Then a friend stopped by while he was out trick-or-treating and so Alex decided maybe he wasn't too old after all, so he quickly got his costume on and went out to collect some treats with his friend. His costume (which I forgot to take a photo of) was a dejected Green Bay Packers fan. With his Brett Favre jersey, he wore his Cheese-head hat and had made a sign that read "Bring Back Brett"... and had logos printed on it too. He had worn it to school that day, so it was conveniently right by the door. I'll try to get a photo of him with it on and post it later. It was a creative costume and didn't cost anything. That's my favorite kind!
Kelsey also went trick-or-treating. She was Super Puppy. She left early to go to a friends house, so she went trick-or-treating there and stayed for a sleepover. Here's a photo of her with her costume, also mostly home-made. Her mom made her cape and I cut the Superman logo out of felt.
We didn't carve any pumpkins this year, but took advantage of the "carving" that the squirrels did for us. I put a tea light inside and it lit right up... pretty scary, huh?? In all, we had 58 Trick-or-Treaters this year.

never trick or treaters on our busy road. So we went next door to a party and enjoyed the little goblins that visited the party with their parents
