Trick or Treat


It is our first Halloween in the neighborhood and it is 7:00 and we have run out of candy. We were visited by a whole host of characters ranging from Hannah Montana, Raggedy Ann and Andy, a kid who was dressed like Spiderman but when asked who he had dressed up as he stated his name, and a friar pushing the devil in a stroller, among others. We had a good time and will be better prepared for the after-7 crowd next year.

Funny stories from our childhoods:
When Dave was little, he called jack-o-lanterns "jack-o-leens."
When Amelia was little, she was scared of jack-o-lanterns and her mom made up a song to sing whenever you were scared by a pumpkin. It went "Hey Mr. Jack-o-lantern / peaking out the window / We are coming / to spy on you." The funniest part is that Amelia did not know this was not a widely accepted way to deal with pumpkin fear until only a few years ago when she learned that no one else knew that song.

Here are pictures of our pumpkin turned jack-o-leen. You also get a couple glimpses of how big Joshua is getting too.
