Happy Haunting

So I got the kids all dressed up for Halloween this year. As usual, the kids picked out their own costumes and did remarkably well at matching for once. Normally, they are wear completely opposite outfits...which is fine. It's just that this year they looked like they both hail from Hogwarts. N dressed up as Harry Potter and K wanted to be a Pretty Pink Princess. She was adorable and even had a pink pumpkin to match her dress. Somehow we misplaced the glasses that would've completed N's outfit, but he didn't seem to mind too much. We toured the neighborhood and they got quite a haul of candy. Hubby had to work late, so he had miss out this year. It was hard on everyone as this was the first time he couldn't go trick or treating with the family. Halloween is his favorite holiday. However, K was getting tired and cold, so when Hubby did come home he came and got her. N and I proceeded to finish up our tour, which included a scary house. There is a house that hosts a neighborhood haunted house in their garage every year. It attracts kids from all over. They do this at no cost and even give out full size candy bars! They do a fantastic job too. I was even a little spooked by this lady who played a stabbing victim that stalked us as we went inside. She had this crazed look in her eyes and then began to stroke her knife. Just as you near the exit, they start the chainsaw. Yeah, we were outta there pretty fast. It feels good to know that you're never to old to enjoy a good 'ol fashioned scare...as long as it is in the safety of your own neighborhood and you know you'll likely see that lady with the knife at the next PTA function in her minivan. No Wisteria Lane around here.

That sounds like SO much fun and the kids look fantastic! Love their costumes. The Haunted House is awesome, very cool that someone in the neighborhood does that.
