the kids love the cartoon "maggie and the ferocious beast," so we thought it'd be fun for them to dress up as them for halloween. of course mia was maggie, and george was the ferocious beast.
when eliza was here before we left for hawaii, we put the kids in their costumes so we could get a picture of them together.

my brother, skaught, loves halloween more than any other holiday. we went to his house in the afternoon to show him our costumes and see what he had cooked up for the trick-or-treaters in his neighborhood. he had this creepy clown mask to wear to pass out candy. the kids thought it was hilarious! i thought it was freaky. i talked to skaught the day after halloween, and he said he had 1,000 or more trick-or-treaters!!! he had to go to the store 4 times to get more candy!

we have a tradition of having a chili dinner at the koelliker's home every halloween. we've been doing it since i was a toddler! they graciously had us over again this year, and we had a great time! malia has kids the same age and gender as our kids, so it's really fun for them too!
the kids posed with grandma and papa before we headed out to load up on candy!
george was getting tired of walking, so we got the wagon. papa steve was making dirtbike sounds and poppin' wheelies! i think they had more fun doing this than trick-or-treating!
