Halloween '09

It was another beautiful Halloween this year. The weather was bit on the chilly side, but warm enough that we got to take both boys outside for the night!! Boaz was a cute little bumblebee that said "bzzzz."
Cainan was just bundled up in a warm suit... although it looked like a bear, so we'll say he dressed up like a teddybear! Grandma Glace came over that morning and helped Boaz 'practice' wearing his outfit.
Our two cutie-pies.
Grandpa & Grandma Bartlett came over in the evening to help with trick-or-treating since daddy had to work late. Grandpa showed up wearing this crazy hair & beard. Boaz thought it was pretty funny.
We set up some chairs and Boaz's picnic table at the top of the driveway. Boaz perched there watching for kids. He was so excited all night long. Those of you that know him, know that he can talk pretty loud. People could hear him up and down the street. He'd see a group of people coming our way and yell "comin' kids!" (kids are coming!) He yelled "hello" as they walked up the driveway, yelled "thank you" as he put candy in their buckets, and yelled "Bye! See ya!" as they walked away. We had parents in stitches. :)
We left Grandpa in charge of candy distribution for awhile and went to a couple neighbors' houses quick to do our own trick-or-treating. We got quite a bit of our own candy in the cute bag Grandma Glace made him.

Here's Boaz checking the pumpkin to see if we have candy left! Our neighborhood is a hot spot for trick-or-treating. This year numbers were down a bit, but last year a neighbor counted over 300 kids at their place. I'd guess it was around 150-200 this year??
Handing out candy was so much fun, we might make that our routine for the next few years... until Boaz decides he needs a pillowcase full of candy for himself! Next Halloween, if you need a laugh be sure to stop by our place!!! Myabe I'll have two boys yelling "Hello!" Enjoy a couple videos of all the action. You can sort of hear Boaz saying "hi" and "thank you" in the noisy background.
