Happy Halloween!

Hope you all had a fun Halloween! We certainly did here, though it was long as well. I ran some errands while the kids carved their pumpkins - then I got home and we had dinner, while the trick-or-treating began. We must have had *at least* 200 - 250 kids at our door through the night...and that doesn't count those that may have passed by while WE were out trick-or-treating! Apprarently, this is the neighborhood that all the other parents bring their children to. Seriously - it got to the point where we were just tired of answering the door.

The kids had a great time though - Liam was some sort of Clone Trooper from Star Wars, and Ceana was a little witch. She was the belle of the ball - we got more comments about her and her costume...If there had been a contest, I seriously think she would have come home with the grand prize. She was funny, too - "trick-or-treat" was a fun thing to say, regardless of whether or not she was at someone's door. And when she and Liam were leaving a house, she would holler out "Happppy Halloweeeen". We did a few blocks before calling it quits - came home, rested a bit and handed out a TON of candy, then headed next door for a "Bones and Brew" party. We didn't stay too long, but it was fun. The kids were absolutely exhausted by the night's end (as were we).

So - here are a few photos, along with one up-top showing Phil and Ceana sleeping. It was his turn to put her to bed the night before Halloween, and I think that he actually fell asleep first - when I went upstairs to check things out before going to bed, the light was still on, she was sleeping on her bottle, and the music hadn't been turned on yet. ;) Forgive the color - I didn't want to use the flash and wake either Phil or Ceana up.
