Halloween

Since Liza and Isabella were gone to Mexico for Halloween, Zach and I were on our own. We were invited to have dinner at Andy & Ashley's house and then go trick-or-treating with them. We had fun. Andy dressed up like Peter Pan (sans the tights.) He got a turtle neck and cut off the arms to make the shirt. Those arms turned in to great hats for Zach and Katie..

After dinner, we got Zach dressed up in his Tiger outfit. He was very excited to go "trick-er-treat and get candy!!!"

Here he is from the front.
And here he is showing off his tail, which you can see if you look hard. He liked the way it wagged behind him as he walked.

We went up and down the block with Andy and the gang, then headed over to our neighborhood so we could go visiting there. Despite how you may feel about the holiday, you must admit that it is the one night of the year that it is perfectly acceptable to go up and down the street meeting everyone. There were huge packs of kids in our neighborhood and Zach had a really fun time.

We went to our neighbors' house (Dan and Kristy) last year and met them for the first time on Halloween. This year when we went back (they were #1 on the list of houses Zach wanted to visit) they took these two pictures.

Since Isabella couldn't go this year, Zach agreed to ask for extra and then give half of what he got to her. His pumpkin was over full by the end of the night and I think he and Isabella will have enough candy to last them to July and beyond. :-)
