Halloween 2008

It was so much fun this year having Halloween on a Friday. It was much more relaxed with out having to worry about school the next day. We had some friends over for pizza and then went trick or treating. We had a great night and the weather was perfect. Hudson was a Power Ranger, Porter was a Ninja, and Braxton was a Mad Scientists.





Hudson really caught on this year to the idea of free candy. He had a great time and did a good job of keeping up with the big kids. I don't think he missed a house!



Even more than getting free candy Hudson loved handing out the candy at the door. He liked seeing all the different costumes and putting the candy in their bags.



The sorting and trading of the candy




All the boys had costume parades at their schools right before their halloween parties. It is always so fun to go and see all the different and creative costumes that the kids have. The boys think it is fun too. I actually walked in Hudsons as a chaperone this year so that was fun. They did a loop around downtown Madison, all the store owners thought they were so cute.

Some friends of ours the Dents had a family halloween party on the Monday night before halloween. We had chilli, soups, and treats that were very tastey. The kids played some games and had a lot fun dressing up and playing with their friends. Mike and I dressed up this year, Mike was a doctor and I was a bag of jelly beans.



No-hands doughnut eating contest. The kids loved this one. Our little blue "Jungle Fury" Power Ranger was content watching all the activities.







Porter being mummified and the final product! I thought they did a pretty good job.
