I love Halloween. I think it is my favorite holiday. There is something about the spookiness, and the costumes, and the idea that it is okay to be a little bit weird and different. There's the carving of pumpkins, and of course, the candy, although now that I am older there is more of a love/hate relationship wih the candy. Now that the boys are old enough to really understand the holiday, it is even more fun. We carved our pumpkins a couple weeks ago, with the girls, before we left on our epic road trip to NJ. They had a great time using the pumpkin carving knives, and nobody even ended up with a flesh wound! But the day or two after we carved them, it rained, and the boys were devastated when we got back from our trip and the pumpkins had melted into a big pile of black mushy goo on the front porch. :(Tonight we went over to our friends' house for dinner and trick or treating. The Kujacznskis live in the best trick or treating neighborhood in the area, and you can tell by the number of almost-too-old-teenagers walking around without costumes, looking for free candy. The boys had a good time, scored a pile of candy and didn't get scared at all. Riley was very disapointed though, when a great Darth Vader we saw in the neighborhood didn't stop by the house for candy. Perhaps he was busy using the Jedi mind trick to relieve other kids of their candy; at any rate, he didn't stop by for snickers.

ahhh, I loved the Halloween pictures! I was just about to bug you and say I needed an update, and then came the Halloween pictures. Lily is all grown up! I haven't seen her since she was just a tiny little thing.
