Spooky Night

Saturday, November 1, 2008


Halloween has come and gone with the ghosts and goblins, witches and vampires, princesses, tramps, Indiana Jones and Spidermen all passing by to say hello. We had about 60 or so trick-or-treaters stop by last night. It was a chilly but nice night out for them. Strangely there were about 100 less than last year - much to Carrie's dismay. This was her first year home and she only had about 1/3 of the typical numbers. The folks were also older - not many little ones this year. But it was a fun time. We sat on the porch and drank hot cider while the people gathered. Our outdoor path was a HUGE HIT with most of the neighbors who dropped by with their children. All of them had been watching our 'construction' over the summer!!! Nice to have good neighbors around for sure.

Findlay, Koda and Cheyenne did pretty well inside chewing on a special treat - pig hooves. YUCKY!!! But these guys love them. Today is a bit of raking and loads of school work. Oh yeah - fun fun fun fun fun. I hope that all of you had a very scary Halloween!!

I agree, the pumpkins are fantastic! Grandpa was telling us all about it when we visited on Halloween.

Always in our hearts.
