It might have been my last moving weekend, but it was also a much more important day- Halloween. Mike loves Halloween so I was hoping to make his first spooky holiday at the house special despite our chaotic and disorderly state. From talking to a few neighbors, Mike learned that the neighborhood was very into Halloween and that there were an abundance of kids that were going to come calling on us for candy. This only fueled Mike's excitement more and he was determined to give the kids and neighbors both tricks and treats. Well, as usual, things did not turn out as we planned and as shocking as it is to hear, we were running late. We both left Bethesda with our vehicles loaded to the extreme, and while Mike headed home to unpack and get ready, I headed to the barn to check on my ponies. By the time I got home, (and yes, it is still strange to think of anything besides Maryland as "home") we had only a few minutes to decorate and prepare for the throngs of kids expecting candy. Things did not turn out as elaborate as Mike hoped, but we still had a festive night. Plus, we must have done something right since we didn't get egged that night. Below are some pictures from our first Halloween in our new home!

| Yes, that is Dave looking freaky and hilarious behind us. |

| The "crime scene" complete with severed limbs...Mike's idea, of course. |
