Halloween fun

The day started with a parade at school and ended with trick-or-treating, so I'd say it was a good day.  Dan and Ben's preschool is attached to the K-8 school and a big Halloween parade is a yearly event there.  The preschoolers and kindergartners were definitely the cutest.  Lots of pretty princesses and (fake) muscled superheroes.  Dan and Ben were lean and mean in their Mike the Knight costumes (minus the swords because I guess they're considered weapons?).

After their parade, the baby and I headed home while Dan and Ben had a morning of Halloween fun at school.  They came home with lots of tricks and treats.

The afternoon was pretty long and boring, waiting for dusk and trick-or-treating.  Zach was on his way back from a trip to Yuma so it was just me and the kids.  Which is why I only took like four pictures, since it was kind of hard to keep track of all three by myself.

Our neighborhood turned out to be really great for trick-or-treating.  Lots of little kids walking, not a lot of car traffic, and some houses that really went all out with decorating and scaring.  One house even had a very elaborate haunted house set up in their garage.  Both boys were brave and went in!  In Ben's case, he only went in because the person handing out candy was at the end of the haunted house and he's a bit of a sugar fiend.  

By the time we got home, Zach was there and we all had fun handing out candy.  We didn't have a lot of kids, probably because we live in a cul-de-sac at the top of a hill.  More candy for us today!
