Here they are ...
Taylor, a dragon
with purple spikes and a tail like an ankylosaurus
Payden, a butterfly,
and according to her, NO, she is NOT a ladybug
Shelby, a golden fairy from Fablehaven
(sorry the pictures are blurry)
Declan, the Jedi
He fought and cried every time we put his costume on,
but he proudly said he was a Jedi when a boy asked him what he was.
Sitting down to eat at 6:30 ... sun still up ... we see people start coming, so we figured we'd better get out there.
Apparently our street is THE street to go to in Gonzales. The crowds are insane. Policemen on bikes roam around. The streets are lined with cars, and the sidewalks are packed with people. At the end of our street a local church had hot dogs, drinks, and little games as well as candy. Fortunately going earlier helped us beat the really thick crowds.
This was our street once we came in an hour later. The few times we walked by the house, the line of people trying to get candy at our house was backed up to the mailbox. We had 800+ pieces of candy, and it was all gone an hour later ... INSANE!!!!
Weirdly, by about 8:30/9:00 the street was dead quiet. After an hour of trick-or-treating, we came in, and the kids sat down to check out their stash. This is Declan's new face when I try to take pictures.

Their costumes are amazing! So cute! And I love that Payden insists she is a butterfly - I can just hear her saying it!
What cuties! Sounds like y'all had fun.
Great costumes! I've been meaning to post our Halloween pics, and I was going to brag about our street and how so many houses get really decked out, but it sounds like you have me beat as far as the Halloween festivities go!
I rarely comment, but I do read. And I've read this post for a while :) So what a crazy pic of the trick or treaters! I like the easy set up for you though, right? And 800 pieces gone in an hour?! Here I thought trick or treating was dying. I suppose just depends on where you are at. I'm sure it makes for a fun neighborhood :)
