I also bought some of those fake flickering LED lights and I LOVE them! They looked great in the jack-o-lanterns and little Halloween candle holders!
Sunday afternoon, we met up with some of the boys' buddies downtown to check out the hay maze
and do a little trick-or-treating at the local vendors. 
It's impossible to get a picture with this many kids and have them all looking the same direction. :) The boys were very wary of this guy.
They finally determined that he was fake and cautiously took a treat. The Cat in the Hat was very popular.
Then we headed home to trick-or-treat the neighborhood.
Funny, I never thought of this as a particularly dangerous activity, but this year I think we were more aware of the massive amount of alternative "safe" trick-or-treat activities. I think it's a little ridiculous. We just stuck with class parties and neighborhood trick-or-treating. We like to live on the edge that way. So, Halloween: check. Next up: birthday parties. The soon-to-be seven-year-old picked a Scooby Doo theme, and, unbeknownst to him, a villain will steal all of the birthday presents! The meddling kids will have to do a scavenger hunt to recover the gifts. And the soon-to-be five-year-old is going with Lightning McQueen again. Mom and I will be making a Mystery Machine cake and another Lightning McQueen cake. And both boys passionately requested pinatas, so we'll have those as well. Looking forward to it!
