Halloween. Halloween. What does it mean?

A few pictures from our house to yours from the day of the dead.

Cupcake chef.  And, yes she does like to bake.



Everyone wants S'more Gretchen




And the Rain cloud with secret weapon, the spray bottle! When people would comment on his costume   he would lightly mist them with his spray bottle. I chose this picture because this was the point at which he remembered that he left his backpack and lunch at home.  Mat fortunately ran it in.





Some costumes from the parade I found unusual





And then my own paraders



rule follower wouldn't stop for a picture



this one had no problem stopping



This is all of Micah's THIRTEEN kids in her kindergarten class. There are only 3 boys too. Afternoon has it's advantages.



Later we went trick or treating with some neighbors of ours.  They were kind enough to invite us since Mat was leaving for St. George. Older neighborhoods have their advantages too.  Full size candy bars.



Another neighbor provided S'mores for the S'more



When we got home, I had my proud moment of watching my child sort her candy.  It makes me want to cry, because I was in that same little mindset when I was her age.
