Night of the Living Sugar-high Offspring

The 3 musketeers, on the hunt for "3 Musketeers"

Halloween on the Palouse is always a risky endeavor. Usually there’s a good chance of rain. Some years it’s been 10 degrees outside and windy. We lucked out this year and had a fairly mild night. After missing Halloween last year (we were on the magical mystery tour through California) , our kids were keen to hit the streets in search of sugary plunder. Well, at least the block. They were not disappointed. This year Amelia was a “zombie prom date”, Alec was a mad scientist (witness the powder-burns around the goggles), and Olivia was a baby jaguar. But not “THE” baby jaguar, she’s quick to point out. Now that she’s getting older she’s above watching “Diego” and Dora the Explorer.

After letting them have their way with the candy explosion for a couple days, we have now combined all the candy, sequestered most of it to the freezer, and given them a reasonable amount to ration out as they see fit over the next few days. I know, we’re mean that way.  Here’s more pics:

Ian as "Dr. Horrible". Awesome.
