Halloween 2013

We had the safest street in the neighborhood on Halloween with our little superheroes out in full force!  I'm glad the girls still wanted to stick with a theme this year!  They are already talking about being pirates next year, so we'll see what Luke has to say about that!  

 

Wonder Woman!

Spiderman! 

Spiderman and Batgirl!

 Supergirl!

 

 To the rescue...

 

Patiently waiting for Daddy to get home from work!  Trick-or-Treating was from 5-7 which I felt was way too early with parents having to work!  And it's sooooooo crowded on post because everyone who lives off post, comes on post since the Germans don't celebrate Halloween.  The candy goes fast and most people are out before the two hrs are up (not that we need a ton of candy!!!)

The Miller girls joined us (since they are off post) and we linked up with the Green boys. 

Our rushed family shot...I'm soooooooo bummed that I held Luke in front of me....grr!!!!  Oh well!!! 

Luke followed the big kids lead and went door to door on our street and then was content with Leevi carrying him the rest of the time.  It was chilly but not unbearably cold initially, but as the sun went down our finger and toes were hurting!

Sorting their loot!!!!  Both are pretty picky about which candy they like, so they shared a bit and then made a pile for Leevi to take into work.  

 

And on a side note, I'm not sure if you noticed in our group picture that we now have grass in the front yard!  They've been working in our neighborhood for a few months now, ripping out all of the bushes and mulch and replacing it with sod.  We got our sod on Halloween!  I'll be curious to see what happens to it this winter!!  It seems a little crazy to be putting it down so late!  It looks so much better, but I still wish that they would have taken out more of those mid-size bushes!  In the broken English/German translation, their contract said something about leaving bushes/trees over a certain height.
