happy halloween!!

i love having halloween on a weekend.
it means we get to spend all day together.
it means we can make the day more than just rushing out after stacey gets home to trick or treat.

we got ready to head out after lunch
(ben decided VERY last minute he didn't want to be a ninja anymore -
he wanted to be what he was last year.
go figure)



he headed over to a neighborhood halloween party
where we had a lot of fun with most of our neighborhood kids
and froze ;)



it's there that we also realized that our boys and the koste boys unknowingly had gone with the same themes
too funny!

from there we headed out to go trick or treating
and
poor spiderman didn't make it too far

so ... we changed plans slightly and decided to let he and king peter nap in the car for a bit,
while we drove around -
THEN we headed out to collect some goods.

of course we got more than we will ever eat -
but the fun is REALLY in the collecting
right?!
