Happy Haunting

And now, coming to your screen...pictures of the Carlson goblins...Halloween 2010:

Connor chose to dress up as Snake Eyes from GI Joe.  When he selected his costume (not at ALL influenced by the fact that it came with a sword and a set of two little daggers, I am sure), I suggested that maybe people wouldn't know who Snake Eyes was, both he and my husband looked at me like I had sprouted two heads right there in the aisle at Target.  Silly me.

Kylee wanted to be Padme Amidala from Star Wars.  I was a bit surprised when she chose this over a pink, glittery costume...but the minute she laid eyes on it, she knew exactly what she wanted (not unusual for our girl).  I suspect the reason she chose this was because she knew it would be exciting for her Daddy, a huge Star Wars fan.

Hadley gave our Winnie the Pooh costume one last Halloween romp.  Connor wore this same costume on his 2nd Halloween:

Photo opportunities with all of our kids looking decent are hard to come by (mostly due to the wandering tendencies of the littlest one).  This is the best pic of the three of them that we captured:

It has become a Halloween tradition to trick or treat with our friends the Chases and the Blakemores.  Here are Connor and Kylee and the Chase kiddos gathered up ready to go trick-or-treating around the Liberty Square:

Hadley was quite a riot this Halloween.  She was insistent that she be let out of the stroller to join in the fun with the older kids.  It didn't take her long to figure out that if she brought her bucket up to people, they would throw candy in it.  It took her just one time of seeing candy land in her pumpkin to make this magical connection.  She was off like a shot after that:

As I post, we anticipate the celebration of Thanksgiving this week.  Enjoy your holiday...we are thankful for your love, support, and friendship!
