The Pillaging of the Park

Trick or treating.........it brings back so many memories. I think that it is the one thing from my own childhood that hasn't really changed all that much. The candy is a little different, but the kids in their costumes and the excitement is still just the same. Maddox and Mia were both pirates this year. Mia was sent off to Auntie Jamie's for her makeup and hair-do. For some reason we felt that Mia needed to be a glam pirate. Auntie Jamie did not disappoint, and Mimi was returned to us with a hairdo fit for a prom. Mia has baby fine stick straight hair and it was a breezy night.....needless to say the do was short lived.
Mandy proceeded to get Maxie into his costume and we were off. We were a bit concerned about how well Mia would handle the decorations and seeing the other kids in costume since she had already had a few melt downs upon seeing various Halloween related things throughout the season . Mandy had to shield her from the costumes in the stores, and she even fell apart at seeing Maddox's preschool teacher dressed as a cow! She surprised us all and did great. Both kids were well behaved and even remembered to say thank-you when they received their treats. They tuckered out after an hour or so and we all headed back to Jamie and Josh's for Pizza and cake and ice cream to celebrate Mandy's birthday.

This Picture came out very creepy with the lighting. I think I see some ghostly spirits lurking.

 Want some???

Awwwww! Look closely, you don't see this too often!

The kids were fascinated by this animated pumpkin.

Great costumes! Mia looks like a (very) young Gina Davis to me. And Max looks like he's been itching to be a pirate. Aaarrgh!!!
