We had the best time this Halloween dressing up with the kids.  A while ago we found out Chris' childhood friend, Shannon, had this amazing van that looked like the Mystery Machine.  Sirens and bells exploded in my head when I thought of us dressing up and using the van for Halloween.  Shannon not only let us use his van Friday night for our Fall Festival at church but he also changed the decals on it to make it look even more like the Mystery Machine. So if you are looking for someone to take care of your graphics, let me know, Shannon is pretty amazing with his skills.

Shaggy

Scooby Doo

Freddy

Velma (Daphne had H1N1 so she couldn't come)

the next night for Halloween we headed to over to the Simonowich's house to trick or treat.  Shannon and his friends dressed up with the Mystery Machine so the boys got to choose a new costume if they wanted.

i love these next few I took after it got dark

Then we headed to see Pauline's parents in Lyndale and make the usual visit to a super spooky house.  Robert didn't realize this guy was real, too bad I didn't get the reaction when he scared him.
