halloween 2011

Believe it or not after looking through these photos, but we have come a long way in participating in Halloween since we had Noah. For his first Halloween we threw him in a laundry basket with some towels and said he was laundry.

Last year he just wore a hat, carried a baseball and wore his summer t-ball t-shirt and he was a baseball player. Oh, and Evie was a lady bug borrowed from a student.

So I say we've come a long way. But perhaps that's not so b/c Evie was a lady bug again this year... What?! It still fit! But Noah... Noah had his best year ever as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle - Leonardo.

Leonardo was given to us by the church secretary, Terri, whose son wore it (even in college!). It was in perfect condition and Noah enjoyed it b/c he knows who the Turtles are since Terry downloaded the old school Nintendo game onto our Wii.

Samuel, unfortunately, did not get to dress up. Mommy is lazy or something. Oh, and see Noah's sword? That's an old one. The costume came with Leonardo's sword but Noah busted it as soon as he went outside. And Evie carried an old Easter basket.

First we went to our neighbor across the street who has rescued escaped Snap many times.

Then we went to our next door neighbor (the one who wanted our tree down and killed a possum).

We went up the street a couple blocks before going east several more blocks. Then we got in the van to drive to Terri's house and Rick and Shelli's too.

This was the most done-up house... Oh, and we pulled the kids along in the wagon.

Here is Noah's haul.

Evie's haul.
