"I'll throw in Milk Duds and some Skittles."
"DEAL!"
...and thus a round of well-contemplated swapping ended a week of frightfully fun (Halloween) festivities!
We savored spooktacular sights at our family party where freckled babies and dead golfers mingled with football players, rock stars...
bananas and...oompa loompas?
The karate kid and a hip hop skeleton showed up with a bit of riff raff this year...
Grandpa and Grandma oozed terror as an...um...pretty...ugly woman, and a rather possessed looking baby?
We feasted on our traditional homemade chili, dunked Fazoli's breadsticks and gobbled glazed doughnuts for dessert. We played games devised by Chris to entice teenagers and toddlers alike (how does she do that every year?) and tried our very best to carry on conversations with Cami while somewhat distracted by her bright orange face and grassy green hair.
Even Danny participated as a perfectly prim, posed little pumpkin!
(costume courtesy of Kelsey...made from scratch, actually scraps, of material she had lying around. Impressive, huh?)
Ward party, friend parties, school parties...at last the big day arrived.
Dinner before candy...but, dinner was a bit unconventional this year...
Intestines topped with bloody eyeballs, a bowlful of brains and witch fingers on the side. All washed down with a glass of ice cold blood and the trick-or-treaters were (just a tiny bit horrified) and set to go.
Candy bars arranged by brand and separated from tootsie rolls and blow pops. Glow sticks and rubber snakes (hands down favorite of all the loot) sat alone as the only items meant to last for more than a week. The bartering slowly hastens, half-eaten fruit snacks and snickers tossed aside. Stomachs began to churn. Suddenly sugar-coated treasures beg to be hidden.
That's my cue. Kids to bed. Bags to raid. Reese's and Hershey bars are mine, all mine...booohahahahahaha!!!

Cute pictures! Can you believe that Halloween is already over? Before we know it Christmas will be here.
I talked to Chesney, She said she saw you the other day at Luke's Halloween party. She said you were so sweet and darling, and I can agree with her on that.
Love you all tons!
Fun times!
What fun. As always I want to be in your family. Every holiday look way more fun at your house!
I don't know why it was so hard to carry on a conversation with me! Next year maybe I will follow in the footsteps of my wise sister and dress up as something pretty! (but I will tell you now I won't have as much fun!)
