Is bedtime really this much fun??

I still don't know what the joke was, but it must have been a doozy!

Abigail was part of the fun too!

The aftermath...

I think the post trick-or-treating candy sort is one of the finest Halloween traditions. Kohen followed in the footsteps of his Daddy by not gorging himself and carefully sorting all the different types of treats. He'd pick his favorites, eat a few, admire a few. He was most happy about this long stick of licorice and most disapointed that no one gave him juice this year. (Last year he got a bottle of sunny-D). Evelyn promptly fell asleep and nearly missed the whole ritual. She woke up when we tried to peal off her costume and then amazed us with her ability to stuff as much candy down her pie hole as she could while unwrapping even more candy faster than we could take it away. I don't think she had a particular favorite...I'm not sure she took the time to taste anything, but she did seem to like the box of dots. Oh and the sweet tarts in the shapes of bones and skulls, Go figure. I was disspointed in the haul simply because there seemed to be a butterfinger famine going on.

Halloween night!

I have to say, getting ready for trick-or-treating (trunk-or-treating in this case) is quite an ordeal. I was sweating and out of breath by the end of pulling on all the snow gear and then wrestling the costumes on OVER all that. Kohen was very smart to choose his frog costume to wear trick-or-treating. I could fit all sorts of warm clothes underneath and of course Evelyn didn't mind what she wore as long as it was a princess dress on the outside. They both got a load of candy at the trunk-or-treat and I had a suprisingly good time handing out candy. Abigail slept through the whole thing in her car seat...but for the record, she was in costume too! She had a glow in the dark skeleton onesy, pink of course! I gave away every last morsel of candy but I still think we brought home more than we showed up with. Oh well. Happy Halloween!

Everyone wanted to try on Moms costume

Evelyn and Kohen were thrilled with the new addition to my halloween costume. I got the feathery witch hat last year and added the shades this year. Evelyn was so cute in the whole get-up that I considered just letting her wear my costume, of course I wouldn't be as cute a princess as her...or be able to fit even one leg into her dress.
