Halloween Part II

Spooky!
A Pirate, a Sprite, and a Bee - Oh My!!


Cute Trick or Treaters













In keeping with the fun of last year, Brian unveiled his pumpkin beer before we took the kids out trick or treating. Sean won the pumpkin king brew because of his lawn mower racing success. Erika and Christina brought over the most amazing food. Thank you guys. We had a princess, a sprite, a pirate, and a sock hop dancing girl accompany the adults out for the evening. In case you were wondering...I am a bee. Brian dressed as a vampire, although he is not feature here. He kept trying to tell me he was from the True Blood series. Auntie E was in the spirit too with her devil horns. The grandparents held down the fort and passed out the candy. Miss Hannah Banana managed to eat through one of the wrappers while we weren't looking to get at a Nestle Crunch Bar. I looked back to see chocolate smeared all over her face. Crazy girl. Will that pass? Ha!

The Lawn Mower Race

Every summer in Brookline as part of Old Home Days the town celebrates by having a lawn mower race. Now Brian and I have never actually been, but we plan on entering with our neighbors next year. After all it could be a riotously good time. Ken, Sean, and Brian had a face off on Halloween day. (I still can't quite remember how it all came about). In any case though, it was no contest. Sean won by a large margin. Brian lost by a large margin and Ken finished somewhere in the middle. Maddie and Hannah were on the sidelines cheering with Erika, Christina, and I. Notice the skull on Brian's lawn mower. It was decided that the loser gets to put it on his tractor until the next race. It was taken from Sean and Erika's elaborately staged graveyard complete with black ravens at the end of their driveway. Also, does anyone recognize Ken from Toy Story? Way to get into the spirt of Halloween guys!
