Halloween!





Halloween was so much fun! Calinda and I took the boys out trick or treating while Niels stayed home and passed out candy. We were told by our neighbors to expect a lot of trick or treaters. While we were gone only 5-6 people came and that didn't even put a small dent in the first of 2 Costco sized bags of candy we bought! I wish I could post video on here (it hasn't worked for me for months no matter how much I try) because I got a video of the boys advertising our candy on the end of the street! It worked, we got rid of at least one bag. If you are interested in seeing the video it is posted on my facebook profile!

Boys at a totally decked out house. Aricin was afraid of the bowl because it had scary music coming from it. Very fun though the whole family at that house was dressed like pirates too.
Here are the boys! Aricin is a Lightning Mcqueen race car driver (very well received costume in these parts) and Christian is a ghost. (He would not let me paint his face white or spray his hair white to complete the effect!) Niels did the whole ghost costume from a sheet, and the sewing too! Go Honey!

Very awesome costumes. I also love the new family shot you have at the top of your blog. Next family pictures we do I want to do something like that. I see those poses everywhere and it's so neat. Our neighborhood was slammed. I was shocked at how many trick-or-treaters were out
