Halloween 2011

Here are Luke and Halle in their firefighter outfits all ready to go trick or treating.

Yes, this year the kids matched. But I didn't force them to or anything. They both love firefighters and both wanted to be them. Actually, originally I only bought the firefighter costume for Luke. He loves firefighters and when we saw it he wanted it right away. But when we got it home Halle was very disappointed that she didn't have one also, so we had to pick her one up too. It was actually really fun and cute to have them dress up the same.We had a really fun Halloween. Halloween was on a Monday this year, so Cory's work did a trick or treat at the office on Friday instead. So we went downtown to Goldman's offices and did the trick or treat on Friday afternoon which the kids loved.

Then, Monday we went and did the trick or treat at Azteca (my work) but the kids know it as Grandpa Sheldon's work because he works there too but he actually has an office and sits at his desk and passes out candy, so it makes more sense to them when I said we were going trick or treating at Grandpa's work.

Then, later that night I made chili and scones and my mom and dad came over to hung out. They also brought Satish and Manju and their little girl Powni. They are a family that recently moved here from India and my dad works with Satish and was basically the reason he was brought over here. So we've been getting together with them here and there.
We went trick or treating and of course the kids loved it. It was a pretty nice night. Not too cold. About halfway through the lower part of our neighborhood, all the sudden Halle layed flat down on the cement. Poor girl was tired! It was really funny to turn back and see her just laying there.
The kids had a blast and can't keep talking about Halloween, and of course, trick or treating. Luke is already planning on what we'll be next year. He says he wants our whole family to be ghosts. We will see!
