SPIDERS, ShArKs, and Witches...Oh, My!

What a FUN Halloween "season" this has been! We participated in so many Fall/Halloween festivities, and to top it off, it was Bowen's first taste of spooky Halloween! It is always fun to have a first-timer. We've started a tradition these past two years of starting off Halloween night by attending our ward's Trunk-or-Treat! It's a fun way to see all of our ward friends and neighbors and get tons of candy in about 30 minutes. After filling Jackson's Halloween bag here, we head to Grandma and Grandpa Mauss's neighborhood for some good old- fashioned, knock on the door, trick-or-treating! There's nothing cuter than seeing Jackson and Annie knocking on the door by themselves, saying "trick-or-treat!", and then wishing the person a "Happy Halloween!" when they've received their candy. This year, Jackson was a SPIDER (who "jumps on people"), Bowen was a ShArK, and I was a Witch! Justin was sick with a sinus infection, so there was no energy there for dressing up. All in all, we had a great Halloween season!

So cute! Jackson is looking more and more like Justin. The picture of him and Annie at the Mauss' home is so cute! It looks like a great Halloween season - lets hope for a fun winter - ha ha!

Jill your witch costume is awesome! Love the tights! I am laughing so hard at Jackson's comment about saving you if a spider jumps on you by kicking it in the nuts! Boys, boys (that is to include Justin also!)! Too funny! I am glad your little boy is there to protect you. Darling pictures of your spider & shark kids. Hope Justin is feeling better.

Everyone keeps commenting on Justin but I didn't see a picture of him. I did see a picture of a big, blue, weird baby, though.

I love all you pics Jill. I've been talking to your brother-in-law, Darren, down in Vegas. He has been super nice in helping me with all my questions and stuff. Sure appreciate you hooking me up!
