Halloween Halloween Trick or Treat...

Halloween has to be one of my favorite times of the year, it's finally perfect weather in AZ and your neighbors all come out of hiding. Plus every year we invite a bunch of people over to our house since our street is crazy busy it's very festive. Our neighbors have been doing a haunted house for 9 years now and we've enjoyed the last 3. We have so many trick-or-treaters we went through 5 big bags of costco candy. This is partly due to the number of gypsy/Irish Travellers that come from all over for the haunted house, which is fine by me b/c I'm a big Gypsy watcher and love to observe there strange culture. You will have to ask me about this later the explanation is far too long for this blog. So with 24 people at our party, neighbors galour, good food and treats and lots of gypsy's and my little Ariel the night was complete. Oh and I almost forgot, we had a family from Holland who came over and celebrated with us, it was there first Halloween experience. The night was topped off with a large group of probablly 20 guys dressed in speedos and other scandalas atire dancing down our street with a boom box. Of course they stopped right in front of our house and gave us a good show while we covered our kids eyes and ears. Crazy stuff.

Avery went around with some of her little buddies, she sang Halloween, Halloween, Trick or Treat our costumes can't be beat, a song she learned on Dora with a twist she learned from Preschool. She sang this most of the night that is until she seriously got had after she was running through a yard and ran right into a metal cable wire that was used to hold a tree straight. It took her down and did quite a number to her eye and throat, and possibly her head, she sure was acting funny for a couple days. I think it knocked the sense right out of her. I was hoping it would knock some sense into her so that she would listen to me after I've told her 10 times not to run away from me.
