Halloweeen-a-palooza 2008, Part II

Here we are...FINALLY HALLOWEEN!!
On Thursday, our Cobb Moms friends came over to decorate Halloween Cookies. The weather was beautiful and we were able to play outside. (Ryan: Robin, then Spiderman when his friend 'other Ryan' showed up as Spiderman, Allie: Ballerina Princess but she calls it Seahorse??)
On Friday, both kids had Halloween parties at school. (Ryan: Batman, Allie: Alena, from Barbie Diamond Castle). Here are a few pictures of Ryan's class:

In the Pumpkin Patch

And finally, the actual evening of Trick or Treating! Allie made a last minute costume change from Jasmine to her 'day attire' of Alena. Ryan stuck with his original choice of Clone Captain Rex. We started out at about 6:30 and yes, it was still pretty light out! We left a bucket of candy at the end of our driveway with a note saying 'help yourself'! Many of our neighbors go all out with decorations and a few were a little scary! Ryan lost steam pretty quickly and stayed in the wagon but Allie kept on ringing those doorbells.

It's now 8:30, we are home, kids are asleep, and Neil and I are eating all of the candy that has nuts/peanuts! (Oh and although we didn't see him, rumor has it there is a guy who walks through our neighborhood with a wagon filled with beer...his costume...appropriately 'King of Beers'!)

how fun!!! That's funny about the King of Beer - there was a house in Jen's neighborhood that had "treats" for the adults too... Great idea to make TOT a little more fun for the adults!! Allie and Ryan crack me up with their costume changes...don't let them share their secrets w/Trent and Ansley...OK?!!
