Trick-or-Treating in the 'hood

Our street was HOPPING on our third Halloween in Glendale! So many kids, so much candy!

Per St. Louis tradition, both kids were armed with jokes, committed to memory, for the trick-or-treating event! (In St. Louis, you must do either a trick or tell a joke to get your loot!) Before heading out to tell their jokes, the kids joined the neighborhood kids for the annual picture. Thanks Kelli for being the official photog for the group!

The jokes Em and Adam told this year:
  • What is a mummy's favorite music? RAP!
  • What is a skeleton's favorite instrument? TromBONE
  • What does Tweety Bird say on Halloween? Trick-or-TWEET!

One joke that has stuck with me - what is a vampire's favorite drink? BLOODweiser! of course, my guess was "Bloody Marys?"

In the trick department, only two kids did a treat - they performed a dance for me. I heard a large group of kids a few doors down singing, but by the time they reached my house, all they wanted was to cut through the backyard to get home quicker because they were cold!!

Official Race Photos

A few pictures from the finish of the marathon when we could manage to muster some smiles despite sore muscles and swollen faces. Minutes after these pictures, our muscles siezed up and we could hardly walk. Good times.
