Trick-or-treat

Our neighborhood was overrun with trick-or-treaters yesterday!!  The houses in our neighborhood and fairly close together, there are sidewalks on both sides of the streets, it is well lit – the conditions are perfect for trick-or-treating!  :)  Because of this, people in our neighborhood just sit out on our porches and hand out candy all night.  There was even a police barricade this year that stopped every car coming into the neighborhood.  All guests had to park in a parking lot right outside of the neighborhood and walk in.  It was absolutely crazy but so much fun!  Here are a couple of pictures…

Us with our very last minute costumes…Barry was a doctor and I was the patient.  We got asked a million times “Are you really a doctor?” “Do you have a boo-boo?”  “Are you hurt?”  “Are you playing doctor?”  So apparently it was not clear that they were COSTUMES.  Oh well, we had fun.  :)

Done for another year!  Now on to thinking about Thanksgiving and Christmas!!  How crazy is that!?!

  3. OK, I can believe the costumes look very real; however, what type of injury do you have...head, arm?????

    Anyway, I'm glad it was a fun night. I really miss my two children on October 31 (not just on that day!) because it was always fun to have them pass out the candy!
