Happy Halloween!

We had a pretty low key Halloween this year, which is pretty normal for us. However, I got to thinking that this year will probably be the last year for that because Parker will be more into it next year - yay! This year, he slept the night away! :-) Every time the doorbell would ring, Zoe would bark but Parker stayed sound asleep pretty much the whole hour and a half we had trick or treaters at our door.

Brad ended up having to work late, so he just picked up a pizza on his way home. This was the 4th Halloween we have lived in this house and every year we have had the tradition of getting a pizza... quick & fun! Anyway, while we were eating (and Parker continued to snooze) the doorbell started ringing. There were some cute costumes but most of them I don't recognize anymore. That must mean I'm getting old! I mean, what kinda costume consists of a full blue body suit (head and everything) a big gold necklace with the word "gangsta" on it, and a big paper hundred dollar bill? Yes, I can use my imagination! I prefer the cute little Woody's from Toy Story. :-) I was actually very surprised at how polite most of the kiddos were. I did say most of the kids! There were a lot of thank you's said and a group of boys even stopped to tell me to have a Happy Halloween. I thought that was quite polite. Yes, I'm getting old... hehe!

Around 7:30ish I could tell the trick or treating was starting to wind down and I still had a bunch of candy left. Ooops! So, I told Brad that the next kid to come to the door was going to be so lucky because he or she was going to get a bunch of candy! About that time the doorbell rings again and it's our neighbors from across the street with their CUTE little 10 month old dressed as a dinosaur! Hehe, they got a bunch of candy from us!

This picture just cracks me up! Right after Parker was born Aunt Jen gave Parker this race car driver costume because Brad is a huge nascar fan.  It is a bit big on him but still so cute so I just had to take a picture. I snapped this one and went to adjust the top so it wasn't quite in his face and my camera died... ugh! He was kinda in a cranky mood after this because it was bath night so I didn't put him back in it to take another picture. Still adorable though!
