The Party!

 Path to the witch's house.

 Ghost Gully at Josh and Emily's.  Each balloon was tied to a big candy bar.

 The witch was more festive this year!  She was a happy witch.

 Kiptyn gets the whole "Give me candy" thing!

 Jim and Trajan handing out big candy bars at the clubhouse.

 Waiting for the candy toss.  Scott and I took away from everyone's entertainment by not having an argument about how to throw the candy.  We decided before the party and our technique was validated and improved upon by Ryan.  I hope nobody got too injured by flying candy!

 "Make sure everyone gets candy!"

 Chris looked scared.  Some of that candy looked dangerous coming at your head, it's true.

 Sam and Free

 OK, this is my dad on his way to go home teaching.  It WAS the 31st.  He likes to be consistent.

 Ari had changed into her pajamas by this time, Xanthe was on her second costume and high as a kite and we had lost Golda temporarily to friends who eventually all ended up at our house and who are still here at ten PM being crazy and enjoying the drinks and snacks Scott ran to the store for.  They're a great group of kids!

 Oh, Ptolemy was having so much fun!  Everyone was telling him how cute he was and giving him candy.  But look at the next picture.  I think the novelty wore off.  He didn't make a peep in his stroller for the last hour of trick-or-treating except to say, "I sleepy, Ari."  I bet!  Ninja work is hard!

How cool is this guy?  And that scarf is not a Halloween prop.  Scott is just cool enough to pull it off any day!  Happy Halloween, everyone.  I think it's time to put Halloween 2011 in the graveyard.  Boo!
