Halloween '09

It finally arrived.  Halloween was here and the kids couldn't be more excited.  They were ready to get costumes on and to start getting some candy.  But first, we had some things to do.  We had to carve a pumpkin.  

The kids were very good helpers.  Even Elizabeth was really getting into it.  

Finally, it was time to get costumes on and get Mommy and Daddy some candy.  That is, get themselves some candy.  Owen's cousin Dylan came over to trick or treat with us.  They made a great team.  Batman was helping his local police force.

Finally, with costumes on and bags in hand, it was time to head out.
The kids were naturals.

Elizabeth knew right what to do as well.  Plus, the nice people thought she was so cute in her peacock costume, she was left to gather as much candy as she wanted.

After a very successful night, the kids crashed and we'll all have Halloween candy for days.
