He was wreaking all kinds of havoc with our new lawn not to mention eating all the rabbit's food and spreading trash all over my driveway on trash day. It was pretty satisfying to catch the little rascal.
In the middle of the month we Boo'd some friends. The kids are quite stealth. We stake out the house, pull up the mini-van, place the bags, ring the bell and peel out of there just as the seat belts click and sliding door is just about shut. We only got caught once. Good times.
We made a trip to the pumpkin patch and decorated the front door.
Of course we ended the month with the school parade, pumpkin carving and some trick-or-treating with good friends. All three of my kids went as skeletons this year. Raj likes to have a little something to set himself apart and so the glasses were an essential part of his costume.
We set out earlier than usual this year which was fine by me. We got back to our friends house just in time to catch the end of the Giant's game and had plenty of time for the big candy trade.
Farewell October...
Hello November!

Love all the pictures! Miss you! Hope to see you in San Diego -- heard you all had a fab dinner recently!! What ever did you do w/ the raccoon??
Looks like an awesome month! We were "boo'd" once, before we had kids, and were totally confused until we heard the giggles from our neighbors.
Love your son's glasses and the black cat and witch's boots at your front door. I kind of get into, I mean go nuts, over Halloween decorations too.
Wow - you boo hardcore. Our neighborhood does it more like a chain letter and there's no ding dong ditching involved. Just tape a picture of a ghost on the door and leave a bag of treats. Discovery time varies.
I LOVE your pumpkins! How did you do that one of the Eiffel Tower? I saw some really intricate ones like that and have been meaning to ask the neighbors how they did it. I suspect it's something far less difficult than I'd expect and I'm just clueless about this universally known Martha Stewart trick (kind of like when I used to think that acrylic nails were real).
