Halloween 2009 was a smashing success!<\/p>\n

Around lunch time, we all sat down to carve Jack-O-Lanterns. Mason found some Star Wars carving templates via Google, which I freehanded onto one of the pumpkins. We winged a second, Stormtrooper Jack-O-Lantern which didn’t turn out quite as nice. Mommy and Morgan carved one pumpkin and they painted a few others. When I was a kid we had one or two pumpkins, max. Here, Susan has an entire pumpkin patch. Eh, pumpkins are cheap.<\/p>\n

When it was time to trick-or-treat, the whole family showed up at the house. Linda and Doug brought Griffin and Phoenix, who were dressed up as Buzz Lightyear and Darth Vader, and mom and dad came too. Dad and I ended up driving his truck along with the group. Dad’s job was to drive; mine was to hop in and out of the truck and load Morgan and Griffin in and out of the bed as we stopped. <\/p>\n

After covering a sizable part of the neighborhood and little legs began to tire, everyone left and the four of us (Sue\/Me\/Mason\/Morgan) hopped into the van to trick-or-treat some family friends. We stopped by Pat Deckard’s (who emptied her candy bowl into the kids’ bags), Doug and Linda’s, Paula and Larry Willrath’s, Amma Martin’s, Neil and Cathy Martin’s, and Tim and Dawn Novosad’s. Everyone was home at every house we stopped at, so that worked out great, too.<\/p>\n

The kids got enough candy to live off of for six months so they’re happy, and since they’re happy we’re happy. A good night for all. No drama, no costume malfunctions, just a lot of fun for everyone. Yay for Halloween! <\/p>\n
