good and evil

i'm sure like many of you parents out there, halloween with kids is hardly ever a one-night-deal anymore. tonight was the first of several costume changes...counting down until i can fall in a heap of relief after the official holiday has actually passed. halloween isn't my favorite holiday, but the kids really dig it. i have to keep reminding myself how much i loved it as a kid, and try and get into it a little bit for the sake of my kids.

they both had a lot of fun tonight at the 'trunk-or-treat'. it has been quite chilly here lately...combined with 98% humidity, it makes for some very bone-chilling-cold candy swapping.

i didn't notice the details of this photo until i actually uploaded it. what is it about little boys that they have to keep 'checking' to make sure 'it' is still there? phil and i had a good laugh over this one. i guess if you're in a light sabre fight with guys who have the force, it's a good idea to keep one hand on your weapon and one hand on the jewels.

i'm sorry, i just couldn't resist.

Angie, you are hilarious! I laughed so hard I cried, the perfect tonic after a long day at work. Thanks for investing in your least favorite of holidays. You have my boo gene. Your kids will grow up and remember the fun, just like you and carry the tradition whether they love it or not.

That is so funny. At least he's not using "it" as a light saber!

I love Mari as Dorothy. I wish she were here to trick-or-treat with Audrey and Bronwyn. Their little friends that asked them to dress up as "Wizard of Oz" characters bailed on them and decided to be Narnia characters. Isn't that lame?!
