Boo!

Halloween was a blur of activity - rush home from work in Bellevue (relatively new commute), gather up the kids, quick dinner out and trick or treating with Derek & Michelle's kids. Knowing full well that we move Nov. 1.



Memorable moments:
  • Sophia, running down from every door, yelling, "They gave me candy, mommy!
  • Sophia, on her own, asking a woman who happened to be handing out full size candy bars if she could have one for her mom. Then comes running down the driveway, yelling, "I got one for you, mommy!"
  • Michelle's dad, scaring the kids - who were not following directions to let an adult open the door. Ivan rang the doorbell, all 3 bigger kids went bombing for it ... they were back at the top of the stairs before Ivan got the word "Boo!" out.

A jaguar and mermaid took over our kids for the day. Megan (left) standing next to Sophia's pumpkin; Sophia (right) next to Megan's pumpkin. The girls got to choose and design their pumpkins.
