1 It was fun carving this spider Jack-O-Lantern with Sam :) Like the "cobwebs" inside?
2 Mikko-Dakota at preschool :)
3 Sam's preschool costume - a lady bug :)
4 Liisa took these photos at preschool - we're in a parade around the school.
5 Love Liisa's shots.
6 Gramma is here!!! She just got in last night!
7 Getting ready to run home :)
8 There's Liisa! She kept popping up out of nowhere with her trusty camera!
9 And mommy's horrendous, "low rent" (as Dave put it) attempt to make Sam into a happy-face spider, me a web, and Ben a fly. I labeled Sam just in case no one figured it out. That pool noodle is a pair of legs.
10 Here we are! I even tried my hand at face paint! Poor Sam. These will not be photos he'll want to show when he's older. Next year I plan to do something that doesn't involve costumes. Haunted hike...bonfire...

12 Sam caught in the web!
13 A friend, Mike, is such a fun guy. Here's a neighborhood potluck before trick or treating.
14 Ben trying to steal my food! He is such a chomper! And Sammy did so well navigating those big spider legs all night...going sideways to get through things. Poor guy. I do feel badly about his low rent costume.
15 Everyone loved "the fly" once I explained what we were!
16 Sam is really getting used to this strange custom - deal with the freaky faces and get treats!!!

18 Doggies in costume. Like our headlamps?
19 Everyone out on their lanai - so sweet. I want to stop back by and talk to the older folks.

22 The spider "killed" the fly - he is out cold with the "venom"!
23 I do like the smell of a full treat bag, though! We had a great time. Our neighbors are super friendly and all the carports were decorated really well.
