Trick-or-Treating 2009






We went to Aunt Mimi's house for Halloween this year... it's been our tradition for many years. She lives in a nice neighborhood right in Rockford. Rylee had a last minute costume change, just like she did last year! I was digging through my box of costumes and convinced her to be a black cat like Aunt Maria and I! She was a spider witch at school, but for some reason didn't want to be one any more for trick or treating! Travis and Tyson were both skeletons. We only went around one block and we stayed on one side of the street. It was quick because it was cold and because the kids do not need a million pieces of candy! This is the first year that the kids were faster than the parents! They were RUNNING! One house was very scary... it had black plastic wrapped around the entire front porch. A hand was sticking out of a hole and a man's face was also peeking out and he was saying, "Heeeeelp me!!" I thought it was hilarious, but Tyson was scared to death! Once we got back to Mimi's house, the kids had a blast passing out candy to the other trick-or-treaters.
