What a Treat!


Our neighborhood is one of the most popular neighborhoods in Missoula for Trick or Treating. The roads are flat, the neighbors are either retired or young families and the houses are fairly close together which is nice for little ones (and big ones too really ;o) After the first few houses, Drew figured out that if he said "Trick or Treat", he'd get something in his bag. We worked on our manners with our "thank you's" and did well 90% of the time. The other 10%, Drew was distracted by clowns, puppies, or the other costumed kiddos standing at the door with him. They were pretty proud of their stash when we came home and dumped them on the floor. It brought back memories of the good ol' days for Eric and I. This didn't end our night! We answered the door for a few trick or treat visitors and then went to another neighbor's party where the kids watched the "Cars" movie and we visited as parents. Around 10pm, we called it a night. Good thing it was Friday! The kids had a great time (and so did the parents.)

Our Superheroes were Super Ready


We finished up our photo shoot on the front steps before we went to one of our neighbors party. We ate and the kids played before heading out on our Trick or Treat adventure.

Eye See You!

This pumpkin carving was inspired by the kids' book "Mr. Pompo's Nose". The boys are doing their best impressions of our new friend.

Halloween at Ethan's School


Drew decided he wanted to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle to attend Ethan's school party. We brought goodie bags for Ethan to hand out to his costumed friends (including his Ironman twin in the bottom right corner.) Drew got to share in the snacks and goodies with the big kids. This was our pre-function warm-up for the rest of our Halloween night.
