Halloween

The 2009 Sanford Family Pumpkins. We really enjoy this... the parents more than the kids I think. We were joking about how pumpkin carving is an important annual creative outlet for us. We take it very seriously. From Left to Right: Gregg's, Gretchen's, Hannah's, Emily's
Right before the Halloween parade at Gretchens preschool. She was the world's cutest giraffe. Other costume highlights: UPS man, blue lobster, Cat in the Hat (the dad) with Thing 1 and Thing 2 (complete with blue hair hairsprayed straight up in the air), and a little girl dressed up as Ironman (the superhero)
We walked up to Pierce's in a chaotic line and trick or treated at the check out and deli counters.

The trick or treating gang: Dorothy (Gretchen), Snow White (Hannah), Fairy (neighbor friend), Spiderman (cousin), Ballerina (cousin)
Snow White even has a poisoned apple.

The after shot. Smudged make-up, circles under the eyes, frazzled out on sugar. This cracks me up every time I look at it. Classic!
