Happy Halloween

Well, Halloween was quite productive this year - we made a good haul. Sam was out of town, so I loaded the troops up and went around the neighborhood. Most kids in Winchester hitch rides in the back of a pickup or a 4-wheeler. We didn't have Dad, so we did it the old-fashioned way. Cooper and Milo got to ride in the stroller; Matt had to walk. Matt did pretty good though - we walked for an hour and a half and he didn't complain.
And I kept true to my vow I made five years ago and did not leave any candy in a bowl on my front porch while I was gone. I did that one year while living in Santa Clara. We never got any trick-or-treaters but for some reason, I came home to find all the candy gone - stinkin' candy thieves!

These pictures were taken at the
neighborhood Halloween Carnival the week before.

Matt with his friend, Dawson
Cooper went as a Pea-in-the-Pod (minus the peas) I love having all boys and recycling costumes. Can you guess what Cooper will be next year?

You're a trooper to take the boys trick or treating by yourself! I bet Matt really got into it this year. Where did Sam go? I will update my blog from Halloween one of these days.

Good job Jackie! 3 kids is a hard adjustment for me and I would have kicked the bucket if Yates wasn't there to help me. You're the best mom EVER!!!
