2 ninjas and a pirate

Every year, our family has a tradition.  My side of the family goes trick-or-treating together in a family-oriented neighborhood nearby.  We all experience a bit of guilt trick-or-treating away from our neighborhood, but both of my sisters live in the country.  There’s nothing available where they’re at.  I live in a shady area (da’ hood…okay not that bad) and prefer this arrangement anyway.

By the time we got to our spot, dark was approaching quickly.  I managed to get a couple snapshots in before it became impossible to get a good photo.  My brother and sister-in-law were there also. 

 

Two of Janine’s kiddos:

By the time Angie got there, I wasn’t able to get any decent shots from my camera.  She brought her flash, so I’m hoping that she got better pictures.

This was the one and only shot I got of Nathan.  Filling up that basket became his serious priority, and there was no stopping for pictures!

 

This little cutie hung out with me for a little bit until Uncle Jon got a hold of her.  He had some devious plan to use her cuteness to rake in the goodies which he thought maybe he would get her to share with him.  Clearly, Jon does not understand the extent of Jordyn’s sweet tooth.

This photo was taken at the second house we went to.  Jordyn insisted on having that sucker, which did not leave her mouth for the rest of the night. 

 

Jon very sweetly carried Jordyn around on his shoulders. That lasted a few minutes until I saw Jon quickly hand Jordyn off to Kathy.  It seems that the sucker permanently lodged in Jordyn’s mouth was producing massive amounts of saliva which Jordyn deposited on Jon’s head.  Gotta love Jon’s face!  :)

Jon decided that Ben was a bit less risky.  He allowed Ben to go up and get his candy.  As soon as Ben came back to his uncle, he got a speedy transfer to the next house with Jon lifting him up and running.

Thanks to Jon taking care of Ben, and Janine watching over Nathan, I had a pretty easy night.  It got even easier when Mark put Jordyn in the car with him and let her watch movies and eat her candy!

 

We finished off the evening having dinner at a local Mexican restaurant.  It was nice to get out and just have fun!
