HALLOWEEN 2009

We were able to pull it all off today! With Papa being in town, we had help decorating our garage for the trick or treaters. We put up blue lights, pumpkins, a pumpkin snow man, fall leaves, a bowl of candy and, of course, hot chocolate and peppermint schnaps for the adults. We then decorated the house in fall fashion for our dinner party with Carsten, Chabree, Kirk and Amy. We had flank steak chili – the old standbye – which turned out great.
Trick or treating was a blast – the neighbors all rallied and had fun games for the kids and fun drinks for the adults. Liam did not really catch on to the whole “trick or treat” thing and demanded that he eat the first lolly pop he was given. Once that was in his mouth, he did not really concern himself with the rest of it until Spiderman scared him half to death. Skyler lasted until about 6:45 and then had seen enough. Leif and Liam continued on trick or treating and Papa and I headed home to put our little angel to sleep.
Once both kids were down, Leif and I headed out to the Cartwrights for a little adult time. We had a blast being out together, drinking beers and eating way too much candy. However, it was incredibly hard to take Leif seriously in his Spock costume and I spent most of the night laughing.
Home before midnight and the baby slept until 7:30am – THANK you Skyler!
