"Happy Candy Day"

Halloween 2008 was a grand time! The weather was perfect and the kids looked great. We went to Aunt Bernadettes as we traditionally do. She served wonderful food for everyone, it's always a good time but the weather permitted more freedom this year and the kid's got to play in the back yard and everyone ate on the deck before trick-or-treat.


Frankie: Optimus Prime
Nellie: Leprechaun
Mary Claire: High School Musical Cheerleader
Molly: The "Pumpkin Fairy"

You did not have to tell Molly she was pretty she knew, telling everyone... "is peetee" and "peetee shoo" (she has a huge thing for shoes and I didn't give her the new orange shoes until costume time and she was very thrilled with the shoes). She caught on to "chickercheet" very well and was pronouncing it with perfection by the 4th or 5th house. She was also very good with her "Thank You". It was very much fun.

Here's the kids in action. Jess got some great shots of them begging at

various door-steps.

Posing in someones yard. I LOVE this picture.

Below we have Molly and Gabe, who was a scarecrow (who didn't like his hat), and not feeling well. But he too, caught on to the free candy and had a grand time.

I'll probably add more pictures as I get them from other sources. There were many cameras flashing and I'm sure to have more great shots.
