Halloween Day, 2008.... After school I contributed to my children' s future sugar high by giving them these cool lollies...if only I could have made ALL of them in color. Picnik wouldn't let me. And, I haven't read the 5 million page "Photoshop for Dummies" manual that would probably allow me to edit the way I wanted. Oh, well. Imagine ALL the lollies in color. I know you can do it.
Aunt Vanessa and her family are in town...and she saved the day by totally getting into the pumpkin carving we had yet to do. I love the look on Deven's face when Vanessa cut the top off.
Priya loved putting her hands in the
pumpkin "guts" (as the kids called them).

Awesome finished product.
Thanks, Aunt Vanessa.

...and Nate the Lion.
These are two of the most adorable,
happy little ones I have ever seen.

At the last minute Priya changed her mind about being a Power Ranger...so we dug into the costume archives and came up with medieval princess duds. They all had such a great time trick-or-treating. We've been going to my parents' 'hood for 4 years now (our 'hood has no street lamps and the houses are spread out). We love seeing familiar faces handing out treats.
Mommy the Leopard.
Or, as I called myself...a cool cat.

Our first Halloween without a stroller or wagon of any kind proved to be a bittersweet one. Our 3 little Indians are growing up too quickly. For that reason I will cherish pictures like this one above forever.

I know exactly what you mean...we were wagonless this year, too. Although Gabe was wishing for the wagon after two hills!
You are one cool cat! Love the costume. Can you believe Power Rangers are still so popular? They've been around since I was just a babysitter.
So, how painful was the sugar high?
You can make more than one lollipop color in picnik.
Click on "Black and White"
Then click on "Original" and highlight the parts you want color on. Be sure to zoom on edges. . .that helps.
GREAT photos, great pumpkins, great lions, cute kitty! PURRFECT!
