Happy Halloween!

We had so much fun at the leaf raking party last night. The bread turned out great, the kids had a blast playing in the leaves and the adults enjoyed the great food & good company!

And today was a wonderful day too! Noah was so excited for Halloween that he had a hard time focusing on anything else all day. Since Trick or Treating was 4-6 pm in our city, I think we had many other kids that don't live here...and being in a big neighborhood meant we ran out of candy 1 hour into it (we "borrowed" some from Noah's collection--but don't tell him that, we did it when he wasn't looking!--- and raided the pantry just to get a little more). I don't think we've ever run out before and last year we had tons left over. I guess we'll need to buy a little more next year but not a ton more....such a fine line!

Noah dressed as Bob the Builder and Nathan as a puppy dog. Noah said "trick or treat" at many of the houses and remembered to say "thank you" most of the time. He got quite a loot for the 2 dozen houses we went to.

We enjoyed the evening with Grandma & Grandpa Rust who stayed to a yummy dinner of Halloween-shaped pasta & fesively decorated cake. Nathan talked the whole evening (after staying silent through Trick or Treating). We lit our jack-o-lanterns. The larger one is Noah and the smaller one is Nathan.
