Halloween 2009

We ran out of candy. That's how many kids we had come to our house last night. We had to flee our house. We had been planning on going to a park nearby that was having our neighborhood's 40th annual Halloween party. (Do not envy the people who live adjacent to that park; at least a thousand kids in costume were at the party.) We had to tell some kids we were out of candy and there were large groups heading our way and we just grabbed the kid and ran. When we came back, we came with more candy.

There is a cul-de-sac behind our house where some of our neighbors had set up a bonfire in the middle of and had a party around. They were lighting off fireworks. I do believe I like our neighborhood.

A hippie, Speed Racer and the unemployed graduate. Ed's costume was actually the surprise success of the night. Some teenagers asked if they could take a picture of him.


Sitting on the front porch, handing out candy, Owen was bombarded with kisses.


After his 5th lollipop, Owen started to get that wild look to his eyes that signaled the beginning of a sugar rush.
