We are always trying to find a way to have a full family costume.  We have tossed around many ideas, and this year we landed on being the Scooby Gang.

PICT0266 That’s us as Shaggy (Bradley), Velma (me), Scooby (Martha), Fred (Jude) and Daphne (Gigi).  I lost my glasses many a time exclaiming, “Jinkies!”, Bradley often in his best Shaggy voice excalimed, “Zoinks!  Like,  Scoob…”  But few people were able to make the connection.  We felt clever, but were never recognized.  Regardless, we had a good time.

This was Jude’s first real Trick or Treat opportunity.  At first he wanted to enter every house we knocked on and became frustrated when we wouldn’t let him go too far inside the house.   He caught on quickly though and was often seen choosing a lollipop above all.  He loved looking at the glowing pumpkins and tried to snuff many of the flames out.

We started out with the Shepard family of Amy, Danny and Madeline Mouse.  We were serious about the candy while Amy and Danny were mostly interested in just showing off their little Minnie.

Next we headed over to Vince and Jamie’s house where Gigi and Sophie were thrilled to see one another in costume.  We quickly headed out the door to collect more tricks and treats.

At the end of the night we had more candy than any one person needs, or even an entire family!  A sweet ending to a fun day!
