Friday night, Will and I got a sitter and took off to a couples Halloween party. We went dressed as a Nurse and a H1N1 patient. We went on a challenging scavenger hunt through our local city grave yard, and all all over the place. Every stop had more clues and more challenges. We thought it was a really creative and had a ton fun with the other couple on our team.
We got up early on Halloween and witnessed an amazing race! Will's Fire Department entered in the Tualatin Pumpkin Regatta where he paddled a 1000 pound, hollowed out pumpkin. It was really amazing to see pumpkins that big. The kids loved all the booths, the therapy Lama, and mostly watching their dad floating around in a giant pumpkin.
Then we went trick or treating around our neighborhood. It was 56 degrees and my warmest Halloween in a long time. Our neighborhood was jam packed. I have never seen so many people out trick or treating. We took the kids trick or treating to a grave yard and Will took Cora and Jonas through someones Spook Alley. I love a having a neighborhood so full of Halloween Spirit. It made it so fun. We had a great Halloween this year and cannot wait till next year.

I love that catepillar, Buzz, and witch. Sounds like you guys had the best Halloween. Wish I lived in a place that was so festive!
OK so where's the pictures of you 2 in your costumes? sounds like you had a great weekend!
All I can say is so jealous you got to ride in a giant pumpkin. Did anyone go "man overboard"?
Josh
actually josh, i got to go watch and lo and behold, a woman leaned too far forward and her pumpkin filled with water forcing her out. amazingly though, the giant, waterlogged pumpkin stayed bouyant! she should have just rode it out.
Well Josh, like CC said, no "man" did. It was just woman overboard.
Will
