Valerie was at Six Flags DC with our friend from church, Alexis, so after daddy got some sleep, it was dusk. We handed out candy. I LOVE this photo because LOOK HOW HAPPY HE IS! The thing is, he had NEVER had candy, but he just KNOWS he will like it. We let him have a few M&Ms. He put so many in his mouth he could hardly breathe. It will be a while before he has candy again.
Matt was a dingy blonde for a bit
Waiting for Trick or Treaters- is a lion in a Tigger stroller a Liger?!
One CUTE lion
Trunk or Treat ward party- the Vampiress (Valerie has ALWAYS wanted to be something "pretty", I always wanted to be something scary).
Practicing for Halloween... oh, costume aisle, how we will miss you.
Valerie and I did crafts last week- she painted this herself and I painted a jar. Part of it is talent, part, GREAT INSTRUCTION and enough CAN NOT BE SAID for having the right tools. "the craft lady" has everything you need to do a good job.
Hope everyone had a happy Halloween.
This was the last time I dressed up- 2006. I was a pirate. Matt and I were "just dating" (he was at my house every day and I made him dinner every night...) then. I often feel bad for Matt in terms of how I look now, but he never makes me feel bad about it. Seeing pictures of myself though... sheesh. I really want to look better, but I just have no time to work out and that is the "only" thing that has changed...
Finally, we have the "good" neighborhood to Trick or Treat. It was truly amazing how many children and parents lined our streets!

Interesting. We only had 4 trick-or-treaters all night. They don't like the long driveway.
Hah! I love that picture of Asher with the bowl of candy. I've always thought that little kids just KNOW what will taste sweet. Give them a cookie and they won't think twice about eating it. Give them a green bean (or almost any other veggie)? That's a different story. Our neighborhood had TONS of trick-or-treaters, but we were out trick-or-treating until 7:30 or 8, we still gave away 3/4 of our HUGE Costco bag of candy.
I love that Asher loves candy. Maybe he got the Croshaw sweet tooth passed down to him. I think Becky and Abby both got it. Right girls? Looks like you guys had a great time selecting costumes this year! Valerie looks beautiful!
Dad, sadly the Esparzas sat Halloween out this year. We were going to go to our ward trunk-or-treat, but they did it on Friday night, and my flight + baggage didn't get us home until 10pm. Then on Saturday we went to a boat show or should I say yacht show, which was amazing. (Who knew there were that many extremely wealthy people on earth.) By the time we got home it was too late to do anything. I felt bad, because I think Alex was looking forward to his first American Halloween. Guess we'll have to make up for it next year...
I LOVE the look on Asher's face in that first picture. A boy after my own heart for sure. I have a love/hate relationship with candy-I love it, my rear end hates it!!
We got GOBS and GOBS of trick or treaters. We bought 3 big bags from Costco for our trunk or treat at church and trick or treaters at our house. We gave it ALL away, we finally turned off our porch light at about 9 when all the candy was gone!!
Well, Matt loves candy too. In FACT! Valerie was always blasee about it until Matt... now if she has any desire for it, she better grab as much as possible. It is fun.
She had a bag from the ward party in her room and we put it in the candy bowl after fasting yesterday... well... the bowl was completely empty today.
I like it, but I can pass by and not want it.
That is correct, I most definitely got the sweet tooth. It balances nicely with my fitness fetish. I've always said, my philosophy on exercise is that I do it so I can eat whatever I want!
Just wait until you get older, Abby, it doesn't exactly work out like it did when you were younger!!
i really, really love the picture of asher with the bowl of candy. pure bliss!
