Halloween!!

This year's Halloween evening with the kids was way more fun than last year!  Anna was actually completely aware of what was going on, and was so excited to get so much candy from random people just for asking for it!  She got to be an excellent porch light spotter too.  We ended up in a pack of neighborhood kids as we walked around the block.  She was the youngest in the pack and pretty much brought up the rear at every house, but she LOVED it!  

Wallace participated for a little while too, but he probably needs a couple of more years to really appreciate it.  He'd walk up behind the pack of kids and kind of lose interest before it was his turn to get candy, then just turn around and walk back toward Josh.  "/ 

We live in one of the best neighborhoods for trick-or-treating too!  Not too big, and lots of the homeowners participate.  

Anna was pretty pumped about her princess costume!  I know she doesn't really look like it here, but I'm starting to think that's just because she hates the camera.  "/

Josh picked up every single accessory that came with this costume at the party store!

And Wallace was a skeleton!

Every year the neighborhood has a little hot dog roast to kick things off.

Wallace is almost always squatted down looking for random things to pick up off the ground and eat.  "/

Because the hot dog roast tends to last until sundown, I couldn't really get any trick-or-treating pics other than this one.  "/   It's pretty funny though because all of the kids take off at once in the same direction and tend to travel in one big pack.  :)

In this costume I think he kind of looks like he's getting ready to hold up a gas station...

She was the frog princess.  :)

I'm so glad the trick-or-treating went much better than Anna's Halloween parade at school.  I'd of been bummed if we'd had two Halloween failures.  

I never really got to trick-or-treat as a kid because we lived in the boonies.  So, I think that makes watching the kids do it even more fun!  Can't wait til next year!
