Spook-tacular Halloween 2009

{Mateo, Brent, Miles, Morgan, Anya, Oliver, and Carter}

We had a really fun Halloween this year! We invited several families from the neighborhood and other friends for a Halloween pre-party. We had lots of pizza, homemade chili, cornbread, and lots of other yummy treats.

The kids got comfortable with each other, we took some group pics, and then we headed out to trick or treat.

Oliver and I got separated from the rest of the group because he was very slow going - but it was fun watching him get familiar with Halloween. At about 7:30, we started to head home and I told Oliver that we could hit one more house before. The older kids were out in full force at this time and Oliver got accidentally tripped by a boy who was at least 7 or 8. The boy quickly turned around to say sorry to Oliver and make sure he was ok... but the boy was wearing a werewolf mask which scared the CRAP out of Oliver. Oliver screamed at the top of his lungs!!! It was HILARIOUS and all of the other parents around me were cracking up! The kid who tripped him immediately pulled off his mask to let him know it was just a mask (very sweet kid). Then, in typical Oliver fashion, he kept screaming because he realized it made people laugh. Silly boy.

Miles and Derek made it home around 9:00 and Miles was wiped out! He had a HUGE pumpkin full of candy and wanted to immediately count it.

The next morning, the first words that came out of Oliver's mouth when he woke up was "Elmo bag"! LOL. He wanted nothing but his Elmo bag of candy!

Oh the joys of Halloween! :) Good times!
