The 4 J's Halloween

I'm a bit behind here getting my Halloween pics up, but wait no more, here they are! Our astronaut, cowgirl, nice witch (no mean ones allowed), and Lightning McQueen Pit Crew dude had a great time trick-or-treating into the night. We've got more candy left than we really know what to do with, even though we recycled some of it right back out the door as it came in. Some folks in our neighborhood gave out beads, little packs of markers, stickers, etc and I think that's a great idea and may do the same next year. Who on earth needs all this candy?!?! Not us! We already contribute generously to our dentists' retirement funds without the help of all this extra sugar.

They weren't too thrilled with the photography portion of the evening (as you can tell by the looks on some of their faces), so I had to click quick and then put the camera away so they could get on with their fun.

Checking out the spookyness in the neighbor's yard. Note the absence of the witch in this one? She wouldn't go anywhere near this thing, she's never been a fan of the scary part of Halloween, thus the "nice witch" costume.

Dang Marla! You're beautiful! You need to get in the picture more often.

I know what you mean about getting Halloween photos. My girls will pose for me every other day of the year, but when I get them all dressed up in fancy costumes for Halloween, they (mostly just Chloe) become uncooperative when I aim the camera at them.

Your pictures are super! Better late than never. (Mine were posted late too).

Cute costumes. I gave out pudding cups and glow sticks this year. In the past I've given out containers of TicTacs, fruit snacks, and granola bars. I can't see contributing to the glut of candy the kids get.
