Here they are checking out the loot from the Trunk or Treat. Unfortunately I forgot my camera at the actual Trunk or Treat. I have to get used to taking my camera with me more often. Anyway, we decorated our trunk with Halloween lights, a lit-up pumpkin, and a "mystery box" that the kids had to put their hands in to get their candy. It has two openings to put your hands in, and then they would reach in to get the candy. Kresten had fun with some of our older-kid customers. He told them that there was a set mousetrap on one side, and candy on the other. They had to reach in and try to get the candy. Amazingly, they stuck their hands in the box. When they did...SLAM...he would hit the box. Too funny. It brought him back to his mongoose days. Ask him about his caged mongoose sometime. It lived in his garage in the late 80's, and looked something like a spring-loaded stuffed black sock.
Costume report:
Matthew--mad scientist (thanks Grammy for the hospital coat)
Olivia--dragonfly
Chloe--baseball player for "Team Edward" (Twilight fan that she is)
Abby--leopard
Hannah--bag of jellybeans (balloons in a clear garbage sack. Cute, and fun in theory, but a little hard to move around and oh, I don't know, sit down? She had to shed the costume about halfway through the night.)

That is too funny about the jellybean - that is what Jordan went as, kinda, except he called it a gumball machine. He couldn't move and wasn't having any fun - and couldn't eat the desserts - so he shed his costume as well.
Funny thing, but Reeces are the first to go at our house too.....
