Halloween

Michael and I attended the Elk's Club Halloween party last weekend with some Navy friends. We had a good time and had forgotten how much fun it is to dress up as an adult. It was total last minute with Michael grabbing a wrench and a rag for his back pocket out of the garage before leaving and me safety pinning the pink poodle - that you can't see - on my skirt.

The night of Halloween, the Helms boys came over to trick-or-treat with Tribe Vorholt. The weather was miserable with cold rain, but that didn't stop the older kids from spending 2 hours collecting candy. Matt and Nick enjoyed handing out candy and seeing the costumes that came to the door.

Frozen, wet, whiny children in need of blankets and hot chocolate soon filled our home. They had a great time, though, and so did we. We are looking forward to a warm Halloween next year - costumes without snow suits and jackets????
