Halloween at our house :)

The kids were the official Trick-O-Treater Greeters at the door as in years past... and again, in years past we ran out of candy in ONE HOUR FLAT.
The greeters standing ready at the door for the next swarm of kiddos :)
I would have been able to hand out candy longer (we ran out in a little over an hour... much like last year) had I not have been a bone head and MELTED all the chocolate :( I left it on the dryer and did a large amount of laundry in the last two days... STUPID me!

Our Fall scarecrow :) Actually, this was a housewarming gift from when Daniel and I bought the town home, but I managed to come away with him ;-) I didn't take much in terms of holiday decor, but I liked him, so .... ;-) I'm sure he doesn't miss him ;-)

The kids standing guard... I wrapped purple lights around the baby gate to make it more festive ;-) The dogs, as always, were a huge hit :) I'd hear people from the street "Let's go to the house with the dogs" and heard one kid say "those are scary dogs"... WHAT?! whatever. :P
Yea, scary dogs, these three.... *sigh*
They had to take an intermission and play... ;-)

Kota was standing as door sentry for a bit, so I took the chance to snap his picture... He mostly hung back and let the kids visit with the trick-o-treaters... such the dignified ole man ;-)
This was Sedona's place all night... right at the door watching the goings on... little busy body ;-)

And when Chance tried to take a look, she gave HIM "the look" :)
Finally he pushed his way through. He was the official kid greeter... standing up on the baby gate kissing those who wanted kisses and standing to be petted... such a good boy, that Chance :)
Two peas in a pod, these two :)
And pound pound pound went my door once more and when I finally got to it, it was my friend Rachel's daughter... I wasn't expecting to see them, so it was quite a pleasant surprise :) Overall, Halloween 2007 was alright.... a swarm of kids are STILL in the streets and the neighborhood is like a block party... I stay hunkered down in the house avoiding all the busy-ness... I like my quiet solitude :) I think the dogs had fun though :)
