Happy Halloween

It was a wonder thing to be back in the Pacific Northwest with the family.  We all got up after a very late night last night and headed to the soccer fields to watch the nephews play ball, then back to the house for naps. 
The Man and I managed to sneek into town and eat some fabulous mole.  That's not mole as in the ground vermit, but mo-lay, as in the wonderful mexican bbq type dish.  I love it and the only place I've ever found it in a resturant is in the Valley, so I make it a priority to eat it everything I'm here.
After lunch we got the kiddos ready for trick o' treating.  Cousin Cyrena invited us all down to her shop.

Cyrena was with us every moment of Buddy's birth and holds a very special place in our hearts.  We are so proud of her and her shop success.  Its a pretty cool place too.
The city had closed the street off and everyone was just milling around getting candy and visiting.  It was pretty fun. Grandpa with the Jedi.

The kiddos

Pal also made it downtown to hang out with us and he was too cute in his cowboy outfit.

The highlight of the day was when LG spotted a little dude dressed up as a Star Wars Clone Trooper.  He runs to M.E. gets his light saber out and goes over and creates a stand off between himself and the clone trooper.  The other kid had no idea what to do and just stood there as LG stares him down with light saber drawn.  The crowd has to go out around them because they are stopping the flow of traffic.  LG was extremely serious and we had to go over and get him and put his lightsaber away.  It was too funny.

It was a fun and happy halloween.
