The Trio on the way out to trick or treat.

Gracie has a great princess costume but it is hidden under the fur cape. She has been so sick this weekend I made her wear it tonight. The night air is really cool and she has a bad cough. Notice the ruby red slippers. She got those for her birthday last year and wears them every chance she gets -which isn't often. She is in heaven dressed as a princess and wearing her ruby red slippers.

Steven is so not impressed with his costume. Too bad. I like it. LOL

I have had more kids at my country door tonight than we ever had in No. Va. in a townhouse complex of 150 homes. It is 7:11 and I am almost out of candy!! I bought 8 mega bags of candy and 6 of chocolates and it is almost gone!! 8:31pm - This is the best Halloween we have had since I was a kid. Seriously. The entire village turned out. The police was riding our road back and forth giving out candy, blocking traffic and making sure kids were safe. People were stopping Steven, Colby and Gracie to take their picture. They were told they were the best costumes of the evening over and over again. The preacher at the local village church made them let her take their picture before she would give out candy. Women had a fit over Steven and wanted to know how he was convinced to dress up. Ha! Like he even had a choice. LOL They had such a great time. Next year my cemetery is going out in front! With this kind of community turn out it was just agreat evening of fun with polite kids who actually said "thank you" for the candy. I was impressed. Steven's pumpkin Pi was a big hit. Several moms asked if a Math or science teacher lived here. No, just a computer programer. They laughed. The boys thought the puking pumpkin was cool. Steven says next year he is dressing up as a cowboy. We'll see. Can you guess who Colby is? This is her idea of Mary, Queen of Scots. My kids have some kind of monarchy syndrome/complex. The year before last it wasn't enough to be a princess or a queen. No, not Colby. She was an Empress. Last year a Dowager -like the Queen Mother. What's next? I have no idea! It sure will be fun finding out.

Wow, great costumes--and I love the pumpkins, too. Your porch looks lovely--festive and autumnal, without being gruesome and scary. Hooray!

who is sick of listening to her daughter scream every time she sees a witch or a skeleton.

countrymom said:

Great costumes - where's the picture of you :) Glad everyone had fun.

Vicki said:

Great pumpkins, Angie! I lthink I favor the pumpkin pi. Stephen SHOULD dress-up like a cowboy. He looks like he's about 14 in this get up. :-)
We just turned out the lights for the evening here.
Say- are you doing NaNo? You have lots of words...

AWESOME COSTUMES!!!! Wow!

Your place looked really nice too.

We have candy left this year, but Dr. B sort of overbought.

Hope said:

Those planters are adorable. Great decorations and the pumpkin carving is first rate. Bravo to Steven for being such a good sport. Colby and Gracie look fantastic. Glad it turned out to be your best Halloween.

Angie said:

Hahaha!

Poppy - There were houses Gracie would not go up to the door. they made her 'feel too creepy'.

Vicki - He ALWAYS looks 14.

Susie- I had a tiny bit of candy left, but not much.

Hope - I love those planters. I wish the mums had bloomed more. I think the frost did them in a bit.

MistressMary said:

Sounds like an awesome Halloween. Steven is such a good dad to dress up! Colby looks very regal, and Gracie is adorable as usual.

Laura said:

Love the porch! Gracie looked adorable, great costumes too. We only had 3 kids total! LOL None of my neighbors had any kids either. ahh well. I made hub take the candy to work so I wouldn't eat it!

kenju said:

You all looked great and I love those scarecrow planters!

We had 4 kids only - so as usual - a lot of candy is leftover. Guess where that will go?

Peter said:

The "new" site looks terrific, the halloween ones get a bit overdone after a while, I'm just sayin'....

"OH my god, look at the costumes, amazing-the girls look great and Steven, hehehe- good sport"...

"Ah, what's this, Angie having to defend herself?...

I giggled at pumpkin pi. Great times, it sounds like you guys had FUN!

Raehan said:

Love everything: the porch scarecrow, the pumpkins, the costumes.

Glad you all had so much fun.

Angie goes all out -- again! Does anybody have more fun than you do? Oh, tell Steven two thumbs up for the gunslinger. All farm folks were good gunslingers and ropers.

Jennifer said:
