Halloween

This Halloween was a little different.  We carved pumpkins on Monday for family night, I picked up all of Robyn's furniture (she's moving out of state and has kindly donated all her furniture to whoever needs it.  Part has gone to Cristina's family and the rest is going to Emma and Stephen in their new apartment.).  We fit 2 couches, 4 chairs, 3 room dividers, a tote of potted plants, a mirror and a table in and on the van.  On Halloween, the kids had their annual costume parade at school.  Seth was a lot more fun about that this year.  He kept saying, "Look! There's Superman!  Look it's Bulbasaur!  Look it's a dinosaur like Uncle Seth!"  I picked up kids, they did chores and played on the computer until the Komens came to pick us up.  It was so cute... Sam and Sarah decided to dress up from their favorite video game 'The Legends of Zelda'. Then they had to go trick or treating together.  I love it.

Sam was Link, Evelyn was Professor McGonagall, Seth was Mario and Ada was Bellatrix LeStrange.

We took some pictures and Evelyn immediately broke down crying.  Everything was wrong... she was cold, her feet hurt, her bum hurt, she didn't want to go trick or treating.  We got around the cul-de-sac and Dad took her home.  She then peed her pants and Dad took her to the Instacare and she has a UTI.  Sad day.  She's much better today after being on antibiotics for 24 hours. 

It was fun to chat with the Komens and Janelle came and joined us for a while.  Sam was charging around with his sword and a neighbor asked if he was going to save Princess Zelda.  Sarah immediately started blushing.  I don't know if they'll get married someday, but I sure wouldn't mind.  Sarah is smart, pretty, hard working and I love her parents.  If not, at least he has a good friend growing up.  That makes me happy too.

This is our neighbor's house.  They go all out every year decorating.  Usually it's a Harry Potter theme.  This is Aragog...

Here's Nellie.

These guys insisted on a picture together in front of the spooky tree.
