All Saints Eve...

Being the Irish family that we are, each year on the night after Halloween, we celebrate All Saints Eve. We light a candle for each person in our family who has passed on and we think about them and tell some of their stories. This year there is a new candle. We miss you Grandma Fran.

Some Halloween Photos!

This is Eli as Super Spiderman. He kept arguing with me that he was Superman, so we settled on Super Spiderman.

Eli and our neighbor Snow White.

We put flashing lights in the pumpkin and skeleton so that his Halloween wagon would light up!

This is Tyler and his teacher at his class Halloween party.

This is Tyler and his friend TJ who came over to trick or treat with him. Scary huh??

Blog Contest Winners....It's a Tie!

Wow, this was really tough. This is how the winners were determined: the celebrity judges (Steffie B., Mr. Brian and Christy) chose the blogs that they felt were the top 3 . I scored each of their choices and averaged them to come up with the top 2 blogs. One blog won the judges choice by one vote. Then I added up the popular vote for the top 2 blogs and the other blog won the popular vote by one vote. So...I went back to the judges asking for a tie breaker, but they could not choose between the two. So...the winners are: K1 and the Monkey King.
Congratulations!!! I will be sending each of you a Halloween Light Set. Please e-mail your addresses to me at timnkim.gmail.com

Thank you so much to everyone who participated. I hope that you enjoyed the contest. You did a fantastic job! We'll do it again next year.

Winners: I would be thrilled to see you post your award on your blogs!

Happy Halloween Everyone!

Stay safe~and take lots of pictures!! I have Tyler's school Halloween parade this afternoon and tonight Eli is going trick or treating for the first time. Tyler is a spooky skeleton and Eli is Spiderman!
