happy hunting....

We had a great Halloween! We were sure Anders was going to punt on the pumpkin costume like he did the night before. Daddy wins the prize for "best bribe" that started off a full night of sugar overload. It worked and mommy got her "pumpkin patch" pictures....well, let's not get picky.




This little pumpkin was a trooper....he trick-or-treated in the stroller with all the big kids. Once we dumped the hat, the night improved. Luckily for John Hayden, sweet Rachel was home and candy-hunted with us to provide at least a little attention to him.



The neighborhood halloween party included a hayride, which the 2 big boys loved! W is now big enough to go unchaperoned but we thought A-train might need a little more monitoring. We didn't want to find the "smashing pumpkins" come to life on halloween night....



Still enjoying the rewards of his hardwork....almost 9pm and still going strong. This was the end of the road for our most dedicated trick-or-treater of the night. It is nice to see the magic of childhood come alive again....he was really enamored with the whole thing. It was worth the sticky fingers and candy stained outfits to see the pure joy after each house. What a big boy we have!
