Happy Halloween!

Halloween fell on a Friday before a long weekend this year which meant that the kids had a two hour early dismissal.  This made for even more time to have fun at Reed's annual Halloween Party before dinner at Grandad and Susan's and trick-or-treating time!

Reed's party was a lot of fun.  I love seeing all the kids dressed up and they get to just run wild.  I think a highlight this year was chasing the hired werewolf around (it's a teenager that Stephanie pays to jump out of the storage shed and scare the kids / keep an eye on the kids in the backyard so the parents don't have to) He definitely earned his money this year!  Even Tyler was after him, I don't think Tyler has any idea he is so much smaller then all of the other kids who were in on the game!

There was also a fortune teller, who let the kids pick between fortune fish and the magic 8 ball to ask a question of before sending them on their way with a fortune cookie!  The question of the night was, "Will I get lots of candy tonight?"  

The kids had a blast and we got to relax with some of the other parents.

Tyler found a safe use for his hammer!

And struck an awesome Thor pose!  I taught him to run around saying,  "I am the son of Odin!"

From there we went to Grandad and Susan's for a delicious dinner and to wait for the cousins to show up and for it to get dark enough to trick or treat.  Susan had dressed up this year as well and freaked a few kids out!

I said that Susan looked like the bad guy that all of the superheroes should be fighting, so Timmy changes his pose

They had so much fun trick or treating!  Timmy and Brayden were sprinting from house to house, they will really get a good haul when they don't have to wait for their parents and younger brothers!  Tyler did a really good job keeping up, making it to every house in time to collect candy with the big boys.  If a neighbor opened the door before Tyler got there he'd either yell, "Wait! Wait!" or he'd go ahead and yell, "Trick or Treat!!!" before getting to the door so they'd see him coming!  Bryce went to the first few doors and then happily got pushed around in his car eating some of the loot!
