What? Halloween is over?

Sadly, yes.

We had a great Halloween. On Saturday, we went downtown for the Ghost Walk festivities. This has become an annual event for us. I always help with the costume contest, and I ended up being a judge again this year. You would think that judging a costume contest isn't hard. But, it is! Especially when they are cute, or creative, or the double whammy--both! Take the big sister, little brother and baby brother combination. Big sister was an Indian. Little brother was a pilgrim. And, baby brother? A turkey! How cute is that? Then there was Little Bo Peep with her stuffed sheep. She was quite the ham and wouldn't get off the stage. One of my personal favorites was the little girl dressed as a garden gnome. She was adorable!

I'm proud to say that my little zombie came in 3rd in his age group. He was beat by the Bride of Frankenstein, (she had awesome hair!) and a washing machine. The washing machine was very creative, and made a great costume. Everyone loved his zombie costume, and he received many compliments on it. He also received a lot of attention, which we all know that Hankadoo just hates to be the center of attention!

On Monday, we went to Trunk or Treat at church, and then over to my grandmother's neighborhood for actual Trick or Treating.

We still have quite a bit of candy left, and I swear, Hank still has a gray tint to him from his make-up. He's already started planning on what to be next year. As of now, it's Frankenstein!
