Happy Halloween!!!

I'm going to keep you (and myself) entertained tonight as we pass out candy with a list of my favorite Halloween costumes as I see them. So far, my favorite has been a little boy dressed as the Geico money stack. He had a piece of cardboard sticking out so far on each side, and the eye balls popped up off the cardboard right in front of his face. His mom was holding his arm and helping him walk up and down our stairs and walk. I asked whether he could see and his mom sighed and said, "yeah, we didn't think about that!" Awesome costume, but poor kid!

Sooo...here goes:

• Geico money stack
• Hot dog and ketchup bottle (this one was a mom and dad couple respectively. I couldn't even tell what their kid was!)
• Girl in a princess dress with a tiara and a giant sword (she was supposed to be a musketeer, hahaha. Her mom had to clarify)

(Chris here) Katie has been standing at the door literally for about 8 12 16 minutes straight now as one kid after another after another keeps coming up to the door.

(Katie again) Oh my!! This has been crazy!! Chris had to keep getting up to pour more candy in my bowl because there was a constant stream of kids. Now back to the favorites:

• Kid on a leash!! (I'm pretty sure he wasn't wearing a costume)
• Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion (this was a sibling pair. There have been more than 4 Dorothys so far, but these two were so cute together! Especially the lion)
• Little 3-year OCD cowboy. (He grabbed the door after Chris gave him candy and his mom just looked up at Chris and said, "Sorry, he has this thing. He has to shut all doors." So Chris said okay and the kid slammed the door. But since our door is a little strange it didn't shut, so he came back and banged it shut. Haha.)
• Twister board (yes, the game)
  

On another note, some of these parents are LAZY. There is a log-jam on our street because some of these parents are driving their kids from house to house! We live in a neighborhood. The houses are right next to each other! PLUS, we are totally kicking the other neighbors' butts. We still have candy left because we bought a TON and they are dropping like flies. Lights going out and doors being shut all over the place!

Okay, well I'm going to wrap this post up now so we can get on with the evening. It has been several hours of trick-or-treating and kids are only trickling in now vs. the floods we were having earlier. Have a happy Halloween!
