Halloween

Halloween this year meant that CJ got to Trick or Treat twice. His sitter, Loren lives within the city limits and Columbus Trick or Treats on the Thursday before Halloween. So while Steve and I were all exploring Joshua Tree, CJ was filling his bag full of treats.

On Halloween he once again put on his 'cereal killer' costume and went out again. The hat he is wearing is from Alcatraz and very appropriate for both the costume and the colder than usual weather.

The adults once again gathered around the fire handing out candy to friends and neighbors.

This year was the first year since CJ's birth that we did not carve pumpkins. We had planned to carve after hockey on Sunday. That was until I shoved too much stuff down the garbage disposal and Steve had to cut out the pipes and run a snake down under the house to clear the clog. And then put it all back together again in time to hand out candy. Don't think I will be using the disposal anymore!
