Trick or Treat

Despite the chilly wind Halloween was a great day. Hunter learned sleeping in is good, and was taken on long walks, and got lots of play time. We had many more trick or treaters than last year. Too many older kids though. I gave them the lousy candy. Cute little kids deserve the Reese's.

After the kids had their chance for fun we put on our costumes and headed out to Kalamazoo. Jim dressed as a creepy clown. Despite the fact he bought a XXL outfit it fit pretty well, except the legs, he had a good six inches of ankle showing. I dressed as a pirate, I had a whole lot more than just ankle showing and boy was it cold! Next year I vow to plan ahead and think of a creative costume so I am not forced to purchase the only thing left in my size at Halloween USA.


We met up with Chris and Logan and actually ran into Brent too. It was really fun! I was really impressed with the creativity of some of the costumes we saw. My favorite though, was the bartender dressed as Zach Morris, complete with huge cell phone.


About one o'clock we reached Lee Street and learned that while we were out Hunter had learned and mastered a new trick... He can now jump over his doggy gate.

We arrived home to find he had torn through the leftover Halloween candy then jumped back over to the other side to act like nothing had happened. Rather than crawling into bed and sleeping we got to vacuum and clean up after our naughty puppy.
