Halloween 2008

Sydney decided she wanted to be a SWAT officer this year. Her original choice was a fire fighter, but since she was that two years ago, she compromised and went with the SWAT costume.

Here are some pics of the front porch, and especially our pumpkins. The first is of Mom and Syd's pumpkins and the second is of Dad's pumpkin. When we went to Fleitz' last week Syd insisted on buying a bunch of baby pumpkins, so those are the surrounding ones.

Syd looked pretty good in her costume. Unfortunately, we didn't remember to take a picture until the end when it was very dark, so it's not a great picture.

The really cool part about going trick-or-treating this year was that Syd knows many of the kids in the neighborhood now, because they all go to school together. So, everywhere we went, we saw kids she knew or we heard kids screaming her name. Four of the kids in the neighborhood are in her class, so she knows them well. Another two are three in are in other kindergarten classes and first grade classes, so she knows them too. We had a lot of fun going around with her. She lasted the longest so far, a little over an hour.
