October 31, 2007 - Halloween

Prior to their Halloween Party - Nicholas' school has a Halloween Parade. The kids get to walk from the school, down through downtown Ravenna. The stores and businesses hand out candy to all the kids. They walk to the end of the block, cross the street, walk back up the hill and back to school for their party.

Getting some candy from Guiseppe's Pizza

Nicholas finds us along the parade route
The girls loved seeing all of the different costumes and were able to recognize some of our neighborhood friends.

My bottle is gone mom....here you go!

Ready to go trick or treating that night

Sam is all bundled up and ready to hand out candy with Grandma

Trick or Treat

When we got home the kids dumped their candy out on the floor to see what they got. With his snowsuit on Sam couldn't get to the candy. So he resorted to going after the candy like he was bobbing for apples - using his mouth.

Allison checks out her candy
I'm free of that snowsuit - now where did that candy go!
I got the candy, but the only thing I taste is a funny wrapper.
Maybe there is something better in this bucket.
