HALLOWEEN

Taking a small candy break.

This year, we were lucky enough to trick-or-treat with our friends Mazzy, Artie and Gwen, in their Hyde Park neighborhood. The neighborhood closes off a couple of streets and most of the houses get really into it. Decorating like crazy, dressing up, and one house even built a small maze for the kids to go thru. It was a lot of fun.

We also went to a celebration at the library in Hutto, where Owen won for best costume!

Truett was Hiccup the Viking and Owen was Toothless the Dragon from the movie, "How to Train Your Dragon". (I made both of the costumes, so don't judge too harshly).

Artie the cat man, and Mazzy as Sally stop for a pose with the boys.

They had sooo much fun trick or treating.

We dressed as creepy day-of-the-dead people. I was glad Robert let me make up his face. I wasn't sure if he would participate in that, but he did.

There is a 2-story house on on the corner of Speedway and 42nd that every year does an awesome job decorating their house. The person who answers the door is dressed in a full gorilla suit and throws the halloween candy at the kids, while someone on the 2nd story drops a scary skeleton man down on the trick-or-treaters. Last year, the boys wouldn't even go near the house, but this year, they wanted to go to the door again and again.
