Cookies, of course, were one of our priorities. Not only are they stinking delicious, but Max and I have made cookies every year since he was about three.
We've been collecting fun cookie cutters each year and perfecting our recipes.
Finished products?
Professor Doofensmirtz made sure that no cookie was undersprinkled.
This one has an m&m mustache and beard.
I love this one's eyebrows.
Sandy was a great appreciator of the cookies, naturally, since they're his favorite food. I have a couple of cute photos of him eating them that I'll post later.
Next we made sure that everyone was costumed. Well, except me this time because we missed the ward Halloween party. I like to dress us all up for that. But since we missed it I gave myself the year off.
Kris and Max were both "evil" professor Doofensmirtz from The Phineas & Ferb cartoon. Max had his stuffed Perry in a trap to round out his costume. I have a photo of the two doctors, but it's stuck in my phone. Later.
Sandy was Mickey Mouse.
Max had no official school, but he did have a Halloween party, and we made it to some of that. Here is Max and his teacher the wolf.
Yipes! They played and ate and read some scary stories.
Max's art teacher--double yikes!
After the party we dropped by work to see how fancy everybody looked. The two ladies at the front desk coordinated as "pink ladies".
These two are some of Sandy's favorite people, but he was totally freaked out by the wigs. He didn't want to look at or talk to either of them. NO WAY.
That's the face he kept making.
More Halloweeny looking folks.
Dad could hold him but not Judy or Jessie!
Kris mostly just looks like a crazy insane dentist. He wouldn't be working on my teeth looking like that!!
At the end of the day Max's friend Emily and family came over and we went to trick or treat the one street in our neighborhood where everybody goes. Here are the pre trick or treating poses for you.
Since it was a school night we didn't go out for too long, but just enough to get a good amount of treats. And Sandy had a blast! Every time he would get some candy he'd say "MO" (More). He wouldn't really say trick or treat, but he would say thank you. ("Nay Noo"). When we were done and heading to the car he cried.
It was a fun day. Thanks for tuning in!

Everyone looks appropriately grotesque or cute. It's crackup that Sandy wouldn't have anything to do with the be-wigged friends. That's how our dogs are with hats...
Last three photos are killers.
Loveyouall
DAD
Oh gracious. That shot of Sandy standing with Max at the school - Max's arm around him. Made me laugh and cry at the same time. And the little group portraits with Em = Sandy's face looks transported. Max is a different person than he was last I saw him - so much longer in face and body. And the staff looks lovely. I'm almost the age, I can wear my hair that color for real. This is SO much fun. I felt like I was there while I read and I kept wanting to hug people. This, of course, makes me cry -
That is SO fun that everyone dressed up! I LOVED the doof costumes, and I love the Mickey costume. In the trio portraits the girl even does a face that looks like Merida's.
