Okay so I know Halloween was like 10 days ago and I'm finally posting for it! Geez, about time! The boys are hillarious, let me tell ya. Brock didn't want to dress up unless he could dress up like a pirate like AJ did. But when the trick-or-treaters started coming and taking "his" candy he got pretty upset and got the idea. He chose to be a Lion (it was that or a skeleton). Anthony had to work so we all got ready and Anthony was awesome being Mr Mom (he's totally been spoiling me with that lately and it has been niiiiiicccceeee!) Anyways, he was answering the door, giving out candy, straightening up, and cooking dinner. What a man, what a man! So once we are all ready and ate dinner I took the boys out trick-or-treating. AJ wanted to bounce all around the neighborhood but I wouldn't have it. While we were out we saw some fun and exciting things!

First the neighbor behind us totally goes all out with decorations. So much so when AJ first saw it (a few weeks before Halloween and in broad daylight might I add) he was scared! Silly kid. But they had fun looking at all the stuff that night.
Then across the street from there a man is a firefighter so they got some suits from the firehouse and hung them up and then two people were in the suits to scare the kids. YES! My kind of people! That is one thing I totally loved about Halloween was when the adults would do some scarin'.

This one is a little hard to tell but the silver suit has a guy in it and there is a "jester" in red and black going to get candy.
Then the Syracuse ambulance kept driving through the neighborhood handing out candy and glow sticks so it was fun for the boys to see them.



There's also a long street in my neighborhood that ends with a culdesac and they always party it up hard! Okay family style that is. They had taken a trampoline and turned it on it's side and then taped lights to it to make a gigantic pumpkin, they had a bon fire in the middle of the road, and some blow up halloween decorations including a "haunted house". Of course music was blasting and goodies galore! We stayed there for awhile until I finally dragged the boys back home. It was a pretty good night other than the fact my water bottle spilled on my cell phone and I didn't know it but it finally dried out and now it sucks! Ha ha. Sooo sometime here it will probably die all together on me and I'll have to go buy another one. I'm not up for a new phone for like a whole year. :(




(I also recently learned about using my flash for fill light instead of on automatic, I wanted the night effect without the harsh lighting from my flash. I think some of them turned out okay.)
