Halloween 2012

The Leones bundle up for a spooky night of tricks and treats.

Rice krispie ghosts... and some very cool costumes.  Katness from Hunger Games, a bandit, Tin Tin, a princess, a kangaroo, and a tiger.

Happy Halloween

After visiting our neighbor in the hospital, so she could see the costumed kids, we headed to a new neighborhood to trick-or-treat this year. The kids reported it to be the "best neighborhood ever." (Translation: They give out mega-candybars.)

Kathleen as the prettiest pirate.

Andrew keeps William off the streets.

Therese, aka Sylvester the Cat.

Anna Marie, as Miss Beatrix Potter.

Marguerite and Lucia. 

The clown demands ransom.

And Then Came Halloween

A week after Halloween, the costumes are still not packed away in the basement, and the candy continues to trigger wild rampages and sugar-induced wall-bouncing. (Okay, lets be real: That stuff happens in this house with or without candy.)

Below are the aforementioned innocents, ready to let loose in an unsuspecting neighborhood. (Those country folk who sneak off to real neighborhoods on All Hallows Eve, you know...)

Halloween

The Leones were out in full-force trick-or-treating with the best of them this chilly Wisconsin Halloween.

Who could resist this alternately loveable and frightening crew?

*Disclaimer: William is not the devil. He is Darth Maul from Star Wars. Now that we have that cleared up...

Halloween 2008

Here is the Leone gang, getting ready to head out for an evening of trick-or-treating. A merry band of clowns and good Mother Teresa...
