We ended our Halloween weekend with a bang! Pete and I headed over to Daniel and Jessica's in Tacoma, since they were watching our boys for us while we went out to Freak Night. From there, we all headed over to Olympia to Devon and Erin's house (best friends of Daniel and Jessica). We had pizza for dinner before getting all the kiddos dressed up in their costumes to go trick-or-treating. This was actually Clifford and Kristjan's very first time to go trick-or-treating. In the past, we took them to either a church or community function for Halloween. So this year they were going to experience a true traditional Halloween. We started first going around Devon and Erin's neighborhood. As we were halfway down the street, Clifford and Kristjan (and even Damien) kept asking if we were done and if they could go back home because they were getting tired!! They pushed through and finished up the neighborhood. From there, we all drove down to Devon and Erin's old neighborhood from which they had just moved from. By this time, it's already past 8pm. Pete, me, and kids are all ready to just go to bed. But we pushed through and stopped at a few houses before hitting up our final destination-the Haunted House!! It was pretty good. I love it when families show their Halloween spirit and go all-out on decorating. I was seriously a bit scared, because half the time I couldn't tell what was a prop and who was an actual person in costume, waiting to jump out at me! After all was said and done, we headed home. We made it home after 11pm!! and both boys were passed out in the car, so they didn't get a chance that night to look in their bag at all the candy they collected, which was perfectly fine with Pete and me. We had a blast though. We may make this our new Halloween tradition.
Standing out in the cold, trying to look 'chipper'
This pic is awesome. Right as the camera flashed, Clifford scared Kristjan, who didn't want to stand next to the puppet in the first place.
This was the look on Kristjan's face after the 'prop' (guy in costume) in the electrocution chair popped up at the boys, scaring the bejezus out of them!
This pic was staged by me, but honestly, I did jump a bit when the guy popped up at me. He was freaky!
Kristjan didn't want his pic taken next to the devil unless Pete was with him. The devil let Kristjan hold his cane to make him feel more at ease
