Halloween to the Max.

Happy Halloween to all! There's a reason this is one of the favorite Leahy family holidays ... we love getting into the Halloween spirit. Today has been filled with one spooky shindig after another! Luke had school today, where all the teachers and students sported their finest costumes. The students enjoyed a special breakfast and watched "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown." Then it was off to march through Downtown Monument in a school parade and do some trick-or-treating at the various Monument merchants. 

Breakfast at Luke's school. Reid enjoyed a muffin, too.

Parading to Downtown Monument.

The mob by the downtown shops anxiously await more candy!

The brothers at the parade.

This Very Tall Sheriff (on stilts) joined the parade festivities. He helped direct traffic so the kids could cross safely!

After returning home for what Mom hoped would be nap time (which actually turned into "I want more candy" time), the boys kicked back for a few hours before we headed out again to go trick-or-treating at Scott's work. His company opens up on Halloween, and the employees' children can go office to office and score a boat-load of candy in a very short amount of time. It's great to meet the people Scott works with, and they enjoyed seeing the boys in their superhero costumes. After getting each piece of candy instead of putting it in his trick-or-treat bag, Reid would hand it to us and say "OPEN IT!" We tried to explain to him that we'd have some when we were done ... you don't eat as you go ... but I guess by Reid's rules, you snack along the way!

The family enjoyed some trick-or-treating (with lots of treats) at Dad's work.

Figuring the boys would be tuckered out and sugared up, we opted to stay home and welcome the ghosts and ghouls stopping by our abode tonight ... until Luke's neighbor friends came by and then he wanted to go candy-gathering again. So Scott took the boys out -- for the THIRD time. If you are going to celebrate Halloween, better live it up to the max! Following are some fun pics of the two superheroes together tonight.

Batman & Superman sit on the front step.

Is this the batmobile?

Demonstrating one's superpowers is all fun and games, until Batman flies into the house and bonks his head because he can't see out of his masked cape. Superman stands by though ... still flexing his 'muscles.'

Flying off to save the day.

Look at all our candy! Yum!
