Halloween Adventures

Another Halloween has come and gone and we had a month of celebrations. We started off with decorating pumpkins for family night.

The annual Kneeland adult party. No one got arrested, trespassed, or threw-up -- although there was a trip to the cemetary, foraging in the shed blindfolded for quarters among various live animals and goop, crossing the pool on a ladder, the eating of things acquired in third world countries, and Kirk's performance as Nacho Libre. I guess it was a success.

Kirk and Ashley as Dog the Bounty Hunter and his assistant wife

Halloween night! We started off by gathering with friends at the neighborhood celebration, including hayride, and then canvassing the neighborhood. Now comes the negotiation over consumption of all that candy!

Looks like Halloween in your neck of the woods (wait, are there woods there?) was a blast. The kids were adorable, you looked great, and Kirk...well don't know what to say there. One has to wonder just what kind of parties you have out there.

I am laughing so hard at he blonde hair for both of you. I also love how warm it looks, I guess that is what you get in Texas. I hope baby Ben is sleeping better for you!
