Trick or Treat!

We had some unusual trick-or-treaters early in the day--more dogs from the Warren family. They have 6! Two were at the pumpkin patch and three got to come trick-or-treating.

Here's Grace with Henson. You can't see Henson's costume very well but he is dressed as an elf.
This is Oliver in drag. He was dressed as Little Red Riding Hood--so funny! Too bad you couldn't see him in person. The picture just doesn't do it justice. Hula the mermaid (who you saw in the pumpkin patch pictures) also came. All the dogs got some doggie treats. Later we had another neighborhood dog, Mason, send the kids some candy through his owner, Mark. He was going to deliver it himself but on his way he saw the Warren's three dogs and decided to just send his treats on with Mark. Our neighbors know how much our kids love dogs!

Some of the girls before heading out.

Joe was being stubborn about stopping for a picture. He was much too busy running around sword fighting with all the little boys. You can see how joyfully he is complying with his mommy's wishes. Is he an angel or what?
Hotdogs and chili on the lawn before the big event.

The kids made the rounds of the neighborhood by hay ride. It was a wild group!
Hannah and Grace traded with their friends before heading home and then did some more trading once they got home. Hannah is not a chocolate fan so she traded most of her chocolate for Nerds and lollipops.

I managed to make it through the night with out a single bite of chocolate! I did sample Debi's popcorn balls so it wasn't a completely sugar free night. I knew if I started in on the chocolate though it would be all over.

Joe actually looks cute with that expression on his face. And i loved the old one of him in the pumpkin patch in the earlier post- he is a cutie!
