Halloween 2008

This year the kids got another ton of candy. First they went trick-or-treating at our ward's trunk-or-treat. Then they went trick-or-treating at Microsoft, and later that same night they went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. Needless to say I threw a bunch of it out, especially since Jordan is allergic to peanuts. Maya dressed up as a southern belle, but a few people thought she was Little Bo Peep without her shepherd's cane. Jordan was a jedi, a costume I cut out of some fabric like 10 minutes before Jordan's first Cub Scout Pack meeting when I found out he was supposed to dress up for a skit that night. He liked the costume so much that he decided to use it instead of the Batman one I had bought him. Don't you remember when our parents didn't used to buy us costumes? We had to rummage through our closets and invent costumes...when I was a kid we had to trick-or-treat uphill both ways through the snow in our bare feet! :)
