Halloween fun

The boys had a fun Halloween this year. In the spirit of buying our new home and fixing it up all the time, we were a construction crew family. Mario and I used similar outfits when we went to his company's Halloween party. Our neighborhood has a block party in our cul de sac where parents hang out and several homes (I think it was about 9) brought bowls of candy for the kids to hit a bunch of places at once. They appearantly upped things a bit this year and added several blow up things included a haunted house thing. MJ wasn't so into the scary stuff but it was impressive. Some of the adults dressed up, so we did too (not that it was too difficult to throw that stuff on). It was nice getting to meet more of them.MJ was totally excited about trick or treating. Joey liked it well enough, but wanted to eat the candy as soon as he got it. Also noteworthy was the suprise that our parish priest answered the door once. I actually knew the rectory was down the street in our neighborhood, but kind of forgot about it until then. And yes, they gave out good candy. :-)

Joey was not very cooperative with his hat or belt, but I wanted to try to get another picture of them. Actually, he wouldn't hold still, but seems to like the flashing light of the self-timer, so I set it up on a chair and moved over to the side... yep, MJ is smiling at me and not the camera.
