Halloween 08


We had a great Halloween. In the morning Rachel decided to wear her pumpkin pj's and princess slippers. The kids paraded around the play ground for the parents and then sat for class pictures. Many creative costumes. We were tickled to see the banana was certified organic.

Then that evening at 5 we dressed up again and went to down town Edmond. This time we got Rachel to wear the princess costume we'd bought her. Micah was a frog. So we had the theme of the frog and the princess. We had a great time trick or treating around the shops. Good thing we got there right at the start because it got crowded quick. They had jumping castles, face painting games and crafts. They even had a fire truck the kids trick or treated through then got the candy from the fire dog.

After downtown Edmond, we picked up a pumpkin shaped pizza and headed home. I put the pizza in the oven and chased Micah around while Brent and Rachel sat on the front porch handing out candy. They were able to eat out there while I went through Rachel's candy. I was able to sort out the bad stuff and put it in our hand out bowl. Rachel thought that was great. Don't know how many more years I'll be able to pull that off. When we ran out of candy, they came in, we turned out the lights and went to bed. We all really enjoyed Halloween this year.
