Halloween was a little different this year. With Dash in the NICU for his first Halloween, I spent most of the day feeding, holding and singing to him.
You know I am a sucker for costumes, but this little pumpkin hat (from Scummy) had to do for his big day. Hopefully he will warm up to dressing up soon!

Tristen — the saint of lately — took the other two all day. They headed to RoRo’s beach for the morning. Went home for naps and then she got them all gussied up for Halloween. They went over to Three Arch to walk in their parade, and by the time they were finished, I was home.
Scout was a policeman this year, and Sissy was a “pawisoner”.
Here is his attempt at locking her up.
Too bad for him, she was pretty good at becoming an escapee.
On our way out to make our stops, we ran into some of Scout’s buddies who insisted Scout trick or treat at least one house with them. Scout thought he was such a cool dude as he ran up to the door with his friends.
Here are the weasels in action.
Auntie Gail had big candies and bags of grapes. Wouldn’t you guess that Scout went straight for the bag of grapes, and Sissy tried to sneak about four big candy bars!
(Notice the prisoner’s corn rows. Nice touch Tristen. Nice work Britni.)
Skilly (who wore my tried and true mechanic costume — but looks a whole lot better than I ever did) took the kids up to about ten houses.
Notice my boy — who is eating carrots instead of his bag full of candy!
This policeman found a cowgirl he especially liked.
And apparently she was liking him too — look at the little flirt!
Icka’s crime might have been involuntary manslaughter with how hard she was choking August. But it was all in the name of love!
That cow girl’s dad might just be my favorite part of recent Halloweens! Hank Williams put on many a concert for us that night, and had an entire neighborhood mesmerized!

I feel a bit pathetic this year — I was supposed to be the ball and chain, Dash - a bag of money the convict stole, Micah - the warden. Oh well. There is always next year. And maybe next year we will carve pumpkins too. All in all, it was still a Happy Halloween. And at least I can partially claim (like only 10%, and my mom was the other 90%) that I made Icka’s costume!
