Happy Halloween.

Loads of loot. Tons of treats. Catch-alls of candy. Sackfuls of sweets. (Don't worry...the pics below display Candy Installment 1 of 4, and this was the smallest one. Sighhh.)




Carson wanted to be a ghost for Halloween, hence the total cartoon-inspired pillowcase costume. Dah well. He loved it. His entire preschool class dressed up, and they were super cute. (Guess who wins the "lamest mom for helping with the costume" award? Yours truly. Thank you.)


Layla wanted to be a bat this year, just like last year. (And she's put reserves on the costume for next year as well. Wah-hoo! Easy peasy. Guess who's the Halloween costume grinch around here?) We seriously walked miles and miles on Halloween. Carson has become a very efficient (polite, but efficient) trick-or-treater.
Addie started out the day a little bewildered (see below) but quickly became quite content to be schlepped around gathering foodstuffs to sweeten her meals. :) Notice that I went all-out on her costume as well.

Paul feels guilty eating the kids' candy. I (and my new Reeses-encrusted body) only wish I felt the same way.

Happy November, everybody. Bring on the pumpkin candles and the feelings of gratitude and the Christmas-time prep.

I love how Carson carefully organizes his candy. I wonder where he gets that from?

Brilliant costumes. I love the ghost idea. That was cj's backup costume.

You don't give your self enough credit, Carson makes a great white ghost.
