Trick or Treat

We think trick or treating is always more fun when you go with friends!

We enjoyed another year in another neighborhood!

This was a cool costume for Ben.  Actually, he has been wearing it for days, so it has become more of a uniform than a costume.  A couple years ago, my sister made the vest from some of my brother -in- laws old Army pants.  The hat and backpack are from him as well.  I think he used them in Iraq.

The pants were Ben's and my sister sewed some fabric to match down the sides.  She also attached a couple of patches taken from Steven's old uniform.  To say Ben loves it would be an understatement! 

 The whole gang!!

Trick or treating with Henry was an experience.  He reeled many homeowners into lengthy conversations about their Halloween decorations.  It was quite funny to watch.  It was also fun to see how different all the kids were about trick or treating.  The big boys went speeding from house to house, Lilly walked slower and really enjoyed seeing all the people and Henry really took it all in!!  I think most of the people he spoke with enjoyed it.  And he even had some stumped. . . "Well, what kind of spider is it?"  "Where did you get it from?"  "Is that cat real?"  "If it isn't real, why is it moving?"

The man at this house had a spider on a string.  He lowered it as the kids came onto the porch. They were freaked out!!!
