Halloween!!

Halloween was just magical this year for Graham and Brooks!  They were both spiders - although at certain times during the evening one would only wear the spider hat and one would only wear the costume.  So together they were one spider!  My sweet Tanner was just along for the ride - as a little skeleton.  (Although he is anything but skinny!  He doesn't miss any meals, and he's got the sweetest fat rolls!)

Our street had a block party with food and games, so we went to that around 4:30.  Brooks got to see his friend Campbell who was his FAVORITE character, Elmo.  Makes him love her even more!  (I wonder when my boys will figure out that she lives right next door....)

Then we went to another friends' house for chili and kicking off trick-or-treating.  A handful of Graham's classmates - all girls in his "harem" - were there.  And his very dear friend Allie.  (They've grown up together.)  When he friend from school, Allison, showed up, he left Allie and headed over to see her.  Well, what's funny?  Brooks has a little crush on Allie and moved RIGHT in.  Didn't waste a minute.  And proceeded to show Allie all of his tatoos that he got at the Tatto Parlor during our Hurricane Sandy lockdown.  He has his first crush!!  Guess my two boys will be fighting over cute Allie!

Trick-or-treating was SUPER fun.  Brooks caught on very quickly.  Probably wonders why we don't do this every night!  I let the boys eat as much candy as they wanted in their wagon as we walked around.  And they had a few more pieces at home.  And since then, they have completely forgotten their Halloween bags!

(The "CRAZY FACE" in my neighbor's yard that my kids are FASCINATED by!)  Erika let them touch it!

Brooks showing off his spider legs to Allie - which then turned into showing off his "Tats".

This funny fella made a BEE-LINE for every house. Didn't waste a second!
