A Spooktacular Knight, a Jaguar, and a Scary Little Monster

It is Halloween time again. I always have mixed feelings about Halloween. Should we participate or should we be one of those families that stays in the house and uses that night to do something fun together. We continued our tradition of celebrating Halloween in a very modest fashion. Or in other words, visiting a trunk or treat and walking around the neighborhood for half an hour.

Last year we went to Lynne's house for Halloween, had dinner, did some trick or treating and then called it a night. This year I made Lynne and Ila come over to my place for dinner and treats.

We had an Ockree family favorite of.....

Chili

and....

Cinnamon Rolls

So these aren't actually pictures of the chili I made or the cinnamon rolls I made, but they basically looked exactly like this. We just kind of gobbled it up before I thought to take any pictures. Both were pretty delicious (if I do say so myself). Then it was on to the trick or treating. 

Sophia was mad because I made her stand in the picture. I'm not sure why Ila is trying to sit on her pumpkin bucket, and as typical, Connor is doing whatever he can to make sure that we don't see even a hint of a smile. I know you are jealous that you didn't get to take these kiddos out. 

The kids actually did great and Sophia stopped crying as soon as I stopped trying to make her do what I want instead of just letting her do whatever she wants. I'm a mean mom like that. 

More pictures. Enjoy.
