The Petty crew had a fun few days gearing up for the Holiday. We painted pumpkins, decorated up the house, had a school party and parade and a neighborhood dinner party and a good old fashioned time trick or treating door to door.
With Shane's back out (we are currently awaiting workers comp to approve surgery) I did the busy travel work while Shane encouraged, tasted and supervised.
At Nathans School there was a parade - I think there must be 1,000 students!! (I'm honestly going to check on the number) It went on and on and on. There were kids all the way around the track, and still some waiting to go, and some even finished lining up on the grass watching before they got through them all!!

The neighborhood puts on a party every year in one of the cul-de-sacs. One family furnished the meat (pulled pork) and the rest of us bring something to share. It was fun, many of parents get into Halloween, and it's a fun time to showcase the costumes!

Ashton has been watching some Halloween Dora and was very excited to go "Treating!!" He RAN from door to door and with MUCH exuberance shouted "TRICK OR TREAT!" long before the door ever opened. After we got half way around the block, he was getting pooped out, and dragged on home. I was quite sure Ashton would insist on wearing his super hero cape, but consented to be a pirate with a sword. (The sword was later replaced by a glow stick which he admired greatly much of the evening.)

| The little man of plunder |
Nathan, being 'much older' was enjoying the decorations, and other costumes, music and spooks. He very concernedly looked over each candy bowl, and picked out only his favorites. We went to a few more houses after taking Ashton home.
