Halloween 2011 in the New Neighborhood.
Crosby was a monster with oversized, clumsy feet and Parker was a ninja with a golden sword (it's all about the accessories this year!) The streets were packed with many families going from house-to-house. The Berggren Family came over to run around with us while Grandma Jeanne handed out candy for us. Even Grandpa Dennis and Grandma Dawn stopped by to join in the fun (and help get the boys ready and out the door). THANK YOU GRANDPARENTS!!!!
Madisyn (the Turtle) and Parker ran faster than we've ever seen them move from house to house, collecting more candy and treats than they could carry. Parker's legs got tired after a couple of blocks but Madisyn kept going. It was fun to watch the kids interact with all of their new buddies from school and the park that they recognized somehow even though all were in costumes from head-to-toe.
A couple weekends before Halloween we were able to join the Berggrens and Stakiaks for a fun day at the Train Museum. There was pumpkin bowling, dancing, arts & crafts and even cake (Jenny was thrilled!)

Super Fun adding Halloween bling to masks and bags.
|
 |
| Parker's ready to go trick-or-treating! |
 |
All Aboard! Ready to go pick out our pumpkins!
Can we fit another kid in there? |
 |
These two opted for a better view in a double-decker train

 |
Dave and Parker climbed all the
way to the top of the look out!
|
 |
Mama found her little pumpkin...
Crosby found THE ONE
he had been searching for and
he wasn't letting go of it. |
 |
| Time to get this pumpkin started! |
 |
| I have an idea! Let's carve a skull face on this one. |
 |
| Mom got to do the dirty work this year. |
 |
The boys opened the second pumpkin up
(from the bottom) |
 |
| The face says it all! |
 |
| Brotherly love near the freshly carved pumpkins. |
 |
Not wanting to sit for very long....
too much to look at. |
 |
Mom busted out her slipper boots
and guess who had to try them on. |
 |
This is after I took the slippers off Crosby twice,
he wanted them back on ;o) |
 |
| Look at that sweet little baby! |
 |
| That got a brilliant idea... |
 |
To climb onto his chair to see if
there was any food up there. |
 |
| An action shot of the boys just before trick-or-treating. |
 |
Crosby trying to figure out why people
kept coming up to our house and
leaving right away. |
 |
| Ready to rock n' roll. Let's do this! |
 |

the cutest little monster ever. |
 |
Mark (or should I say Steve Jobs?)
joined the fun again this year...
I don't think he has missed a Halloween yet! |
 |
| Love these kiddos! |
 |
| Crosby looked cold so we added dad's gloves |
 |
| Who gave this one the ninja sword? |
