Halloween in Washington

October 2008 063

So halloween here was pretty cool. Washington has some pretty cool fog that rolls in at night and with all the trees it looks straight out of a scary movie. Ellynn dressed up in her witch costume again and even added some eye make-up. She made a scary face for this picture and it turned out pretty cool.

Ellynn told mom a little bit about our halloween night walk that we did. We had planned the day before halloween to go have a picnic along this one trail that you can walk by the church. It’s a pretty dense forest trail that has a lake with some picnic tables by it. We went out there with some subway sandwiches to eat. Ellery and Leanne had gotten out there ahead of us and lined the trail with candles and put candles all over the picnic area. So it was pitch black everywhere else except the lighted parts on the trail. It was pretty cool. Everyone wants to make that a halloween tradition. It’d be a pretty easy one to do every year.

i didn't whine, they did. jackson was not happy that i got the ring sucker even though he had M&Ms and i ended up giving it to him anyway.

What a great idea to have a spooky picnic!! Love it! We've gotten pretty boring here for Halloween, so I need to spice things up a bit. And Ellynn, love the face. Regan said, "so where's her witch costume..?" He was too chicken to post it, but I told him it would make you feel good to know he thought about you. hehe
As for Jackson, hey, life is tough! Suck it up! I mean the the ring sucker.... hehe
