Once again our neighborhood was over the top for Halloween. From the decorations to the mobs of trick-or-treaters (we had over 300!), it was Halloween central. Grandma & Grandpa were in town for the 2nd Si View Halloween – it was fun to have them with us, and nice to have their help handing out candy! We also had lots of friends from outside the ‘hood come over so we could all trick-or-treat together. It was the most fun Halloween EVER!
We kicked off the Halloween weekend with a visit to the Microsoft haunted house with Grandma and Grandpa.
There were 4 floors completed decked out in theme – Harry Potter, Star Wars, Peter Pan & Tim Burton Films. I was busy making sure the kids weren’t scared so didn’t get many photos!
Next activity was a super fun party at the Aspinall’s across the street. I made this fun puking pumpkin, which I came close to resembling the next day after too much fun!
Grandma & Grandpa helped us to make ghosts out of blow pops & paper towels to hand out to the trick-or-treaters. This is how we KNOW we had more than 300!
The Trick-or-Treat gang: Jagger, Jake (aka “Billy the Exterminator”), Asa, Sami, Jojo (aka “McQueen”), Scarlet and Ryan (a rat, to go with big brother “Billy”!!)
What a gang of ghouls! Sami was tough to keep up with – she charged ahead with Asa while Joey took his sweet time with each house. He'd receive a piece of candy and say “Ooooh. This is my favorite kind” as he’d look longingly at the candy. Then he’d insist on holding it in his hand rather than putting it in his bag.
Check out this house at the end of our street – flaming pumpkins on the roof, and a giant pumpkin creature made from 13 pumpkins!
Johnny & Asa were great trick-or-treat buddies, and even shared their candy with the kids who came to our door after we ran out of candy!
