HALLOWEEN FUN FOR 2008!

This was our first Halloween in Murrieta. After much debate, I decided NOT to drive all the way to Huntington Beach to go trick-or-treating in our traditional neighborhood. It was a hard decision. We have been hosting a dinner and trick-or-treat with our friends out there for as long as we'd lived in our H.B. house, about 9 years. I decided we might as well integrate ourselves into our new community. that and the fact that Tyson HATES the car. It wouldn't have made his 1st Halloween (that he can actually participate in) very fun if he had to spend it in the car. So we stayed.

We kept our tradition somewhat alive and invited our new old friends the Campbells for dinner along with our new new friends, the Cubettes. We had soup & pizza before we all ventured out into our seperate groups to make sure all could maximize on their Halloween fun:

Who's behind the face of death? Kierstin of course. No cutsie Barbies like her cute friend Callie Campbell! I was able to snap this shot before they went off to their friend Lauren's for trick-or-treating and fun.
I didn't manage to get a before shot
of the older crew before they rushed off but here we are gathered at the end. The older crew consisted of (in orange Corbin Cubette, Bradley (tall death) Connor Campbell - cool hippie,
(back to left) Ellis Cubette, Brian - skeleton, Bryce - phantom, front, princess Hannah & of course "superbaby Tyson" which is fitting since that is what Brian seriously wanted to name Tyson; superbaby. Brother Campbell & Cubette took the older guys around, they must have wanted a work out!

Rochelle Cubette and I got to take the younger crew, can you tell I was with them? Poor Rochelle had to stop probably more often then she'd like so I could snap a pic for posterity's sake to post on my blog:
Here they are gearing up!
Tyson's first hit!! He couldn't believe strange people put a candy in his pumpkin! He was stoked!


Here we are in process, Tyson was so curious about everything, especially all the various candle holders!
kids loved this one!

Tyson sharing his trick or treat skills now that he's experienced. Dad missed the party but got home in time to pass out all the candy while we were out! (Sis Campbell went to her home to pass out candy. We all felt she deserved it as she was due any time and ended up having sweet Matthew the following week!)



Here's the younger crew, enjoying their spoils and relaxing their footsies!


Here are the older kids, trading for what they like. We ended the evening by having Connor, Ethan, & Corbin for a sleep over.

Kierstin ended up home at 11:00 with a smile and a nice booty of candy. Sucess and fun for all!
