Happy Halloween!

We all had a very nice Halloween. Ernie was out of town with the team, so Nana and Grandpop came up to help. We carved the pumpkin, picked Grandpop up at the airport, and then came home to get ready for Trick or Treating. Grandpop brought Samantha a present, which is her new big girl car seat. Woody will be taking advantage of her old one. Samantha thinks that everybody that gave her candy is her friend. She still talks about it today, and thinks that it is going to happen again any day now. She was the cutest lady bug out there, and scored extra candy. We were able to get ahead of the crowds, and it made everything go rather smoothly.

Woody loves to be held! He doesn't care too much about moving on his own. Samantha was standing by now, but Woody seems to be in no hurry. He knows he has it good!

Grandpop helped Samantha open her present. He put a mask on and told her a scary man brought it to her. The mask was black with crazy hair, she did not like it very much. She will tell you that the "black" man gave her the present. I have to explain the story to anyone she tells.

She didn't like the guts very much, which I thought she would love. She has her little girl moments.

She would not let go of her "bucket" as she called it. She was not about to let anyone take her candy.

I slipped into one picture on our quest.

Woody was the happiest and cutest giraffe in the neighborhood.

Woody escaped from the stroller for a few houses. They both wore Grandpop out!

Woody enjoyed the scene with Nana in the street. They block off an entire street, so it makes it easier for everyone. We saw everything imaginable walking around that night.

We got a good picture with Woody and a 2008 pumpkin. We will have to look for the 2009 one next year!
