Halloween postscript

We had a perfect Wyoming Halloween.  There wasn't 3 feet of snow on the ground and the wind wasn't howling 50 mph.  Costumes could be worn with just a jacket over the top, or long johns underneath, and no snowpants were needed.  Reina/Elsa got a little cold after the first round of trick-or-treating so she came back home and helped hand out candy.  Our street is under construction this week so we didn't get many brave souls who wanted to march past the "road closed to thru traffic" sign. After Glenn took the kids out and brought Reina back, Will and I hit a few more blocks with Trigger, who saw a yard with one of those giant blow-up spiders that move and proceeded to lose his ever-loving mind.  He barked and barked and jumped back and barked some more until I finally dragged him away.  Trigger is not a fan of inflatable lawn ornaments.
 
Here are a few last minute photos of Halloween 2014.
Arrrrrrgh matey!  It's a Pirate Jack-o-lantern.  Will picked out the heritage-y orange and white pumpkin and dictated to Glenn the rather complicated pirate visage that he had in mind. 

Reina and I made a kitty pumpkin, naturally.  I think she has the look of Grumpy Cat. 

For trick-or-treating, Will felt like he had to take his costume up and notch and accessorize with a Civil War beard.  Thanks to my eye pencil, Glenn did his best.  Will's costume was a big hit with the grown-ups who answered the trick or treat doors.
