My favorite trick or treaters - special fun with the little ones!

Last night I was again blessed to be invited by dear friends to spend Halloween with their family. With my own children grown and gone, and very few little ones in my subdivision I have missed the fun and excitement that Halloween brings to small children. (And big kids - me!)

7 year old Grover Jr. had so much fun this year designing his own costume!

He wanted to be a robot and he did a fine job of drawing what he wanted to look like and with Daddys help his creativity came through.

Moms pasta strainer may never be used in the kitchen again (note his head!) but Mom won't mind. The pride on his sweet face was worth sacrificing one 'ol pasta strainer!

Notice the dryer vents for his arms? Even he knew that those weren't the kind of vents to use in your home!

From start to finish Grover Jr. had the same charming happy grin on his face. After he finished his own trick or treating he sat on the porch with me and helped pass out goodies to more children. He was a fun date!

Leo kept wandering off as I would get close to take his picture! (Too much excitement in the air?)

No, he just couldn't get enough of Frankie!

Leo also wanted to be a robot like his big brother, but the bulk of it was too much for his just-turned-4-years-old body.

He was just as adorable though and had a grand time trick or treating with his Daddy and big brother!

He wanted his friend Frankie to be able to go along with him.

Frankie however had to stay home and protect Mom and I from the ghoulish trick or treaters!

I hope everyone had a safe, fun and ghoulish Halloween!
