Our first halloween in Fall City. Yee-ikes. We handed out close to 400 pieces of candy (or I should clarify - Jeff dressed as scary old warty dude handed out 400 pieces of candy) to the parade of trick-or-treaters.
Leif is almost ready to retire his raccoon costume, considering he has worn it daily for the last week or so. We practiced, first with the makeup, then the hat, then the "raccoon jammies". Our inspiration was "cute but evil" so raccoon fit perfectly. It was my first sewing project since I was maybe 7? I used a lamb pattern, but made up the ears and tail based on my roadside observations.
Someone did, however, have his first candy experience. Short of his eyes rolling back in his head and having ecstatic seizures, he did pretty good. After eating it he told me "I like it". Huh, weird. He even slept through the night for the first time in months.
My parents (Papa & Melody, or Papa & Baba) came over to help make dinner (thank you! thank you!) and help set up. House got some serious lighting, masks were donned, and the festivities started off with some meatloaf.

Raccoon!
The kids had to walk up to this thing:
Mama zombie, Butcher/Pumpkin head Uncle Ian, and a cute raccoon.
Scary? I don't think so. 
On the hunt for candy.

Rachel, Sorry I didn't realize you *made* Leif's costume! Great job!
You all look great and it sounds like you had a fabulous time. We didn't have any trick or treaters; I didn't expect many but I was sad to have none!
You look terrifying and Leif looks so cute. What an awesome costume for him ... seems totally fitting for his personality!
You all look great and spooky! I am sorry I missed the evening with all of you in Fall City as it looks like quite an evening..especially that cute little racoon...
