Mostly treats (not-so-much tricks)

All the kiddos dressed up and ready for trick-or-treating
I took my little football player, my Eeyore and tiny mouse trick-or-treating on Halloween.  Mike was still gone hunting at Fort Ripley so my mom was my assistant for the evening.  Leah, Karsyn, Sydney and Rhonda also joined us.  We just hit up a few houses of people we knew.
We started at my parents' house where we fed the kids their McDonald's that we picked up on the way to Albany,   Once they were all done eating, we started dressing them up, and got them outside to attempt to take a few pictures of them with my parents' HUGE pumpkins.  We got a few.  Nothing spectacular, but you can't expect much when you're trying to take a picture of two 3 1/2 year olds, two 1-year-olds, and an infant.
Once they'd had enough of the picture taking, we started loading them in the car.  By the time we got to our first stop, Tyson was sleeping, and he continued to sleep until we got to the last house  before we planned to go to Eric's (where I was going to feed him).
We got everybody out at Eric's, and snuck in the back door.  They didn't have their porch light on, so there shouldn't have been any trick-or-treaters other than us, but apparently lots of people don't understand that concept.  There were people knocking and ringing the door bell all night.  So, Eric and Amy and the other roommates did their best to hide out and ignore the knocking and ringing, but as we loaded the kids in the car to leave, Eric and Amy actually beat us out of the driveway (they decided it'd be easier to just leave).
