Trick-or-Treat, Smell My Feet!

No joke...this is what one little goblin said when Matt and I opened the door on Halloween night. The parents were standing in my front yard...the mother with a dropped jaw, the dad trying to hide a smile. It was priceless!

So Matt and I had our first "official" Halloween in our new house, and as a married couple for that fact. The first year we were married (2008), we had one...count it 1...trick-or-treater at our apartment complex. We bought tons of candy b/c we thought we'd be inundated with kids from around the complex. NOPE! We didn't account for the fact that our apartment was in the very back corner. Sad times.

In 2009, well we were in Disney World celebrating Halloween by riding the Haunted Mansion. It was great!

This year - 2010 - we knew we were going to be home, and by golly we were going to be ready for those trick-or-treaters.

Matt spent most of Sunday afternoon carving pumpkins....

He ended up carving a bat....


And a Pirate Ship....he's very proud of this one...


And of course...the evening wouldn't be complete without making our dog Lady wear a Halloween bandanna. Hey...somebody had to be dressed up :)


She was not happy with us...poor thing.

So we were ready! The trick or treaters came...constantly for about an hour and we successfully handed out candy like pros and had a blast doing it! Well that's all for Halloween 2010!

Later!
