trick or treat



This is our new best friend.

He's our new neighbor Josh - and a Halloween master. When we saw the torches lining his driveway, and the skeletons hanging from the pirate gallows - we knew we were gonna like this guy.

But then . . . .we actually went up to the garage door and the guy WAS Jack Sparrow. He had prisoners in a jail cell, pirate girls passing our candy, and a treasure-filled pirate ship with moving walls that the kids could steer.

Punk was thrilled. Kooka could not believe it. It truly was amazing - we went back twice.

I hope he gets this excited about all the holidays.

Later we stopped to visit Treats, Medea and Mr. Treats. Medea took both kids out trick or treating AGAIN. Kooka's bag was so heavy it actually ripped. After that, it was off to Nikki's - where Punk and Kooka each got 4 candy bars and a bucket of gummi bears. The grand total was about 5 pounds of candy per kid.

Noah's rock costume is great - I guess I am not sure it's a "rock" costume, it could be a meteor or an asteroid costume. And what's the difference between a meteor and an asteroid anyway...
