Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween...or Happy Day We Get Dressed Up Just To Take Pictures And Get Candy!  Whatever you want to call it!  We went over to some friends' house and had a good time getting to know some people from church we didn't know very well.  We gorged ourselves on appetizer-type food then took all the kids (10+) trick-or-treating to a few houses.  It was fun to watch Will run from house to house in pursuit of loot.  It was such a big difference from last year when we practically had to drag him to the next house, and then use almost all our force to keep him from entering every house we visited.  This year it was all business.  Get up to the door, ring the bell, grab your candy, say "thank you!" (made his momma proud), then run off to the next stop.  It was hilarious to watch all the little bottoms amplified by padded costumes wag as they made their way from house to house.

It was also incredibly amusing when all 10 kids gathered around one door, patiently waiting for their candy, then after a few moments one of them blurts out, "Oh, my gosh!  Did someone ring the doorbell?"  Critical step in the process!

A you can see Micah was incredibly amused with all the happenings.  By the time we were done, it was well passed his bedtime and he was one cranky dragon!  But a cute cranky dragon as you can see!
