So far behind...

So I'm way behind on posting. Go figure. Here are some pictures from Halloween.

The oldest decided she wasn't Trick-or-Treating this year. I guess I was o.k. with that. Over the years I've gotten fed up with people assuming she was 20 and pretending to be a kid for free candy. She still dressed up and passed out treats at our house.

The Boy Child was a sniper. We borrowed a Ghilley suit from a real sniper. A real sniper that has sniping awards and such. Very impressive to the 10-year old set. I'm pretty sure "normal" kids don't have access to the same things we do. Contray to popular belief I did not sit at home playing Battlefield in this get-up. The thought crossed my mind, but I didn't actually do it.

Middle Child was a charm school witch. She had worn this costume before, and I still don't completely understand it. I'm also pretty sure it wasn't intended to be worn with hot pink sneakers.

Hardly anyone in our neighborhood handed out candy, but they made up for it in volume. The kids bags were beyond filled in the short amount of time we walked around. I'm not sure what is up with the death of Halloween. Every year the selection of costumes and decorations seems to get smaller and smaller. Depressing. Where is the Fall spirit? I'm pretty sure a lot of it is clearing out spaces for more Christmas crap.... and we all know how I feel about Christmas.

Below are other random Halloween pictures. Please note me staring blankly at my phone in one of them. I'm trying to get the camera to work. Why I don't just hand all technology to the nearest teenager and grunt what I'd like it to do is beyond me. Certainly that is much easier than reading instruction manuals.
