Trick-or-Treat

For Elaine's 3rd Halloween, she wanted to be Minnie Mouse. She had so much fun with Halloween this year.

Our neighbors went a little Halloween crazy this year. Elaine still talks about the "scary monsters" that she saw on Halloween. the picture doesn't really do it justice. They had the smoke machine going, the scary music, a "Lurch-ish" mannequin that took his head off and cackled when someone walked by, and our neighbor's son dressed up as a vampire or something scary and jumped out at the kids to give them candy (at least he did that with the older kids). But it still made a big impression on Elaine.

Here are a couple of pictures of her trick-or-treating at my parents' house. She pretty much refuses to look at or pose for the camera anymore so these are the best we can do....
