Halloween 2008

We had a fun Halloween. We dressed Meadow in a ladybug costume and went over to a couple of the neighbors houses. After putting Meadow to bed, Todd and I relaxed in the evening and actually voted while drinking some gin and tonics. We really needed them to get through the whole ballot. Oregon's ballot had a lot of measures this election that took some time to think through. It feels so good to have cast our vote. Can't wait to hear the results. We also had 22 trick or treaters. That was a record number for our neighborhood.

The Pumpkin I carved
Our ghoulish neighbors. They had their faces airbrushed. Don't they look so realistic? Cooper is dracula, and Wyatt is a ghost.

Meadow with Cooper. She wasn't actually scared of Cooper, just didn't want to sit still.

Meadow was mesmorized at first. This is at our neighbor's house. We went over to each of our houses.

We happened to have this ladybug costume from Halloween about five years ago. So, I had to put it on to match.

Going over to the neighbor's house.

Dorky looking mom and a not very happy Meadow. She still looks so adorable even when crying.
