the paquettes

I’m going to say that this was the most fun Halloween we have had as a family. I have no doubt this is because our kids are getting older!

I’m happy to say that all my kid meal toys disappeared by the time we finished trick-or-treating!

Every year, the neighborhood kids (and some extra!) meet up on Jen’s lawn for chili, cornbread, and pre-trick-or-treating pictures!

lots of friends!

Super Why vs. Captain America!

cousins

I can just imagine the boys saying, “Who invited Super Why? Is he even a real super hero? Ooooooo, I’m so scared of his ‘power to read!'” 😉

Spiderman, Thor, Batman, Super Why, and Hulk

Belle and Rapunzel!

Ella and Anna

When it was time to go trick or treating, the big kids took off!

speed=more candy!

Asher stayed behind with the little guys!

One of Ella’s friends from kindergarten had a haunted house in her garage. This friend also has 3 teenage brothers.  This haunted house was going to be scary!  But Ella wanted to see her friend, so in she went!  (Even though I told her she probably wouldn’t be in there-and she wasn’t.)   Ella tried to be brave at first, but you can see the fear in her eyes-and tears!

And this is Ella coming out of the haunted house!  Poor girl!
