HALLOWEEN 08

Tanner a marine zombie(GPA Boyle supplied the shirt, Dad supplied the Cammie's.. We have Sea bags full if you ever need gear). Jake a ninja(supplied by Tanner 2003 costume)...Can't beat Free! Tanner had to paint his face Scary though but i say he didn't do too bad, he may have a future in special effects.
Jake and Caleb (our good friends nephew)I miss that age so much!
scary house!!!
Everyone really thought this was some one in disguised to jump at us when we took the candy.. nothing happened but it was a litl suspenseful

Our day started with Jake and I going to his friends house for a Halloween party at 10am(no school for us). Leslie went all out they made Tye die pumpkin shirts, they decorated cookies, she made hallow mummies or what i like to call hallo weenies(a tradition we have), made jello gummies and apple cider and cookies. they all took home a goodie bag. It was a fun day planned and was glad to be part of it.
At 1:30 we went to meadow park home to do indoor trick or treating and games. When we moved here 4 years ago we started this tradition of going here. I think it's great for the residence to get to part take in the handing out of candy and seeing all the kids dressed up. The boys always like taking part and know why we take part. Tanner was officially to old this year but I would maybe like to have him do something else there around Xmas time, i may see of the church wants to do a youth activity there.

At 6pm Jake and i made our rounds in our neighborhood. Tanner was picked up by my friends so our older boys can(venture out on there own) We all then met up at Arbor Hill at my other friends house for a get together. They did a taco bar and everyone came and went as they pleased. I found Shelby so then Jake and i Caleb Shelby and Troy all went around the neighborhood then met up at Candace's, with the older kids and hung out til 10pm. Boy I saw so many people it was pretty crowded but fun. Tanner did good on his own and didn't wrecked havoc so he earned some more independence. LOL. It was a perfect night. Rain was predicted however it was clear and warm.. we had a great time. Jake loved the scary houses. Tanner spent a good hour scrubbing his face before i jumped in and suggested vasoline to wash it off before you scrub with just soap.. afterwards he decided NOT to paint up for tomoorows parties...Ohh the candy they brought home.. they even got some large size candy bars. big bags of popcorn, and a large bag of my fave.. Milk duds...about the majority of it gets tossed, i get creative with the candy bars and baking. about 10lbs of it goes to my behind.. LOL!!!
