I know, I know, it is November 15th already, stop talking about Halloween. Maybe the last two weeks were a little hairy, you know with my husband taking a long sailing trip with my best friends, or the kids and I leaving the country for a few days. Never mind my computer RAM died and then AT&T had a little troubles with the DSL lines. Sometimes I feel like Pigpen from Peanuts, with just these swirls of problems going around me at all times.
This picture is from the Baja Ha Ha pre race party. Since it was 3 days before Halloween we decided to dress up. Debbie bought these outfits 6 months ago (she is such a planner)! All I can say about the costume is, thank God for tennis skirt that added about 3 inches to that short little thing.
Here are the boys on the porch waiting to start trick or treating. Robert had left his mask at a carnival earlier in the day so we improvised on the makeup. Hollywood here I come. For the first time, Halloween came before we moved our clocks back from Daylight savings time so we starting begging for candy before it was dark. I liked that. Now that the boys are older we went to many more houses. I liked that too. It is fun to chat with my neighbors. I should really do more of that. We were really to go up to the next block for more treats when a neighbor looked in their buckets and said "woah, those are really full". And lordy were they. Completely up to the top. So that ended the evening.
The school had this really dumb idea that the kids couldn't come to school in their costumes on Halloween. They were allowed to dress in Orange and black "spirit day". So I got a little carried away with spirit and colored their hairs too.
