October Halloween Spookiness

We're trying to do this the fancy schmancy Steve way.  We'll see if this works. 

Quotes: 
"I lost the baby!" -Dave sitting in church (Jacob had escaped under the pew in front of us)
"Just feed him whatever's under his chair.  I'm sure that's fine.  Just .. DO SOMETHING!" -Anonymous parent (driving and getting desperate)
"Let's go home Mom.  I've got some dreaming to do." -Josh
"Rats!"
"Do you mean the expression, or the noun?" 
"Noun, peanut butter brain!" -Josh's book characters
"For your information, kid, my name is Peanut." -Maddie's book character
"RARRRR!" -Jake, all the time, especially in costume

Halloween update:
Captain Socks, the human sock puppet with superpowers (Maddie), along with Agent Socks (Dave, Captain Sock's sidekick) and a Lion from the land of Costco (Jake), waited patiently.  Ever so patiently.  Then they moved to the side of the road to flag down potential trick-or-treaters.  They called out to passers-by, "Hey!  There's candy!  Get over here!  HEY!"  Puzzled as to why people ran screaming from them, they switched tactics.  Captain Socks launched into a full song-and-dance routine.  In the end, Captain Socks allowed costumed folks two pieces of candy each, unless they were big people ("Big people have big stomachs").  The clone trooper (Josh) and his camouflaged Endorian mommy went out amongst the rats.  The clone trooper made a haul, and was reminiscent of Santa Claus as his pillow case got larger and larger, and finally was too much for him.  He went down screaming in pain, then collapsed.  Deep in a sugar-induced coma, he had to be dragged home on a makeshift bed of twigs lashed together with empty pixy stick wrappers.   Later stating, "I'm probably going to throw half of this away."

Weapons report: 
Clone trooper was sporting a replica of a black powder two shot from Mackinac Island ca. 1880.  Captain Socks was armed with sock grenades, sock blaster, stinky socks and a surprise weapon called a knockout bachau (That's how Captain socks says it's spelled.  It's a spoon with suction darts on it that makes the sound, "bachau!  Bacahau!")

Random Facts:
The kids also had stores that they set up which stocked the following wares (I forget specifics, but I was charged over a million bucks.  I wouldn't necessarily recommend shopping there but it was quaint)....

Josh:
- a tour of the shop
- advice ("Go soak your head!") ("Buy some more!")
- stinky socks
- information (Josh said, "there's over 50 adventures on foot in France!")
- movie
- Starter's kit
- game boy (out of stock)
- surprise
- great product (pumpkin)

Maddie:
- Yelling
- Nothing
- Knuckle sandwich
- Toe ice cream
- Health Insurance
- Air
- Hug
- Kind words

Also, Kar got to go to Canada where there was way too much snow to hang with Mauz, Zach and the little women.  Thanks for the hospitality amigos. :)

We love you.
