Happy Halloween!

BOO!! Greetings from Scooby Doo and the Gang! Colin was so excited about Halloween this year and since he is totally addicted to Scooby Doo it was not surprising that he chose Scooby as his costume. Then Colin chose everyone elses costumes - Jack Henry as Scrappy Doo, Burt as Shaggy and me as Velma (or as Colin says Belma - with a VERY southern accent). We got a chance to try out our costumes at Uncle Andy and Aunt Terri's Halloween party last weekend. Finally, we were able to set out trick-or-treating on Halloween night. Our friends Kristie and Carl came to visit us for the weekend so Colin had an extra fun time walking around the neighborhood with them. Burt and I were surprised that hardly anyone said anything about us being dressed up too. Colin's pumpkin was so full of candy that it was too heavy to carry home so he talked Kristie into helping him carry it - don't worry Kristie, we won't tell anyone the real reason you wanted to carry the pumpkin - we all love candy!

Of course Halloween just wouldn't be right without carving a pumpkin. Nona and Bop brought us this giant pumpkin and Burt carved it just right - Colin would have no part in cleaning out the pumpkin.

After our evening of trick-or-treating in the neighborhood, we headed over to Mr. Bill and Mrs. Becky's house. They always decorate just for Colin (and now Jack Henry) and they stay up to see us even though every year it is always really late before we get there. This year they really surprised Colin. They dressed up too! When Bill opened the door, Colin stepped back and grabbed me - he wasn't sure it was Bill. Finally, Bill took off the mask and Colin gave him a big hug. Next year they are coming over to our house to give out candy while we trick-or-treat...we can't wait!

Like I said before, we went to a fantastic Halloween party at Uncle Andy and Aunt Terri's house. Colin got to roast marshmallows, go on a hayride and play with lots and lots of other children. He had a blast! Here are a few pics from the party.

While we were in Patrick for the party, we decided to try our wigs out on the boys. This is a riot!

Jack Henry looks just like one of those troll dolls!

Colin makes an interesting Velma but I am the best!
