Halloween 2009

Halloween this year was a ton of fun. The weather was great which made it easy on everyone. Of course mom stayed home to pass out candy due to her "condition."

Caden was a ninja turtle, Leonardo to be specific. Thank goodness for Target - he'd been planning the costume for months and we found it in early October. He was allowed to wear it during the month as long as he wasn't eating or outside playing. After Halloween the rules were relaxed and he pretty much wore the thing every day though I drew the line at wearing it to church.

Claire was a lion - a cute hand-me-down from Caden's first Halloween. I figured that she was too young to protest I should get my money's worth.

The kids went door to door with their friends Zoey, Reed, Von and Micah. Caden's comment as his bucket filled with candy was that "this was the best Halloween ever."

After trick or treating we joined our neighbors in the cul-de-sac for BBQ and s'mores. We are lucky to have such wonderful friends.
