Halloween and kids go well together.
(especially Halloween and MY kids!)
Halloween and pouring rain are not such a good match.
(We had to bring our pumpkins up onto the porch because they were filling up with water on the steps!)
But, of course, the rain couldn't stop all our fun.
Our annual ghost-topped pie was still a hit . . .
as was trick or treating at Grandma and Grandpa's--and the few minutes out of the soggy weather even made a few group pictures possible. As you might be able to see behind the jackets, we had two Meridas, a frog, Iron Man, a bottle of ketchup, a Jedi, a werewolf, and a 50s girl :)
Janae and Alaina were the first to call it a night, followed by a few of their well-drenched cousins.
Ben was once again crowned "King of Halloween"--he kept trick-or-treating a full hour and a half after everybody else and got a mountain of candy to show for it.
I think they all got more than enough sugar, though (as can be ascertained by Janae's photo shoot of herself that I found on the camera--I'm not sure how well the chocolate on her cheeks shows up in the picture . . .).
It was the soggiest Halloween we've had in a long time, but it really was a happy one!

I think you are going to have to stop blogging!! Every time I read your blog, I get so homesick:( I am even homesick for the rain! I miss you all so much...and am glad you have a happy Halloween:)
Your pumpkins look so good. I can't believe the pile of treats that Ben got. It looks like everyone had fun.
It's amazing what kids will do for a bag of free candy :0)
