A Happy Halloween !

For Halloween this year, and every year, we went to Aunt Holly and Uncle Mario's house in Rocklin. Trick or Treating around Meadow Vista is rather lame. We are down to only 3 trick or treaters: Sydney, Claire, and Haley.


There was not a blessed vegetable to be found on our dinner table that night. It must be Halloween.


Aiden and Andrew just hung out watching TV. They were not up for a costume this year. Aiden has Andrew's text book in hand. No wonder he gets straight A's.


Stone and Hannah didn't dress up, but they had fun handing out candy to the trick or treaters.


Now Sage, on the other hand, was full swing into the Halloween spirit. She had her Dad do her make up. She was supposed to scare the children upon arrival at the door, but it is not in Sage's nature to scare anyone. So with her ghoulish face, she would say "Hi", and welcome them to some treats. One child saw Sage, and just refused to come to the door. Poor thing.

Here is Claire with her "take" for the evening. As my friend put it," Our tax base is dwindling." We used to have 5 people contributing candy and 2 "on the dole". Now we have 1 person contributing candy, and 6 "on the dole". Sounds kind of like our Social Security System?
