Trunk & Trick-or-Treat

This year for Halloween the Dr. and I went as Sheldon & Amy from the TV show The Big Bang Theory. Not a lot of people knew who we were at the ward trunk-or-treat party but I loved dressing up anyway.

On Halloween night we headed downtown to the Beacon Hill neighborhood with some friends of ours. We left work early and took the train in. This is one of the most picturesque parts of the city to begin with and when the residents decorate to the nines for Halloween it becomes magical.

Let's take a closer look at the witch on this stoop. I don't know why but seeing a witch with her Apple laptop made me chuckle.

Our cute friends were dressed up as Tinkerbell and Peter Pan.

The streets were full of children and adults alike in full costume. We saw some pretty creative and clever costumes over the course of the night. There were spiderwebs, delicately carved pumpkins, ghosts, graveyards and ghouls everywhere you looked.

This man had carved the most amazing pumpkin lanterns to hang in the trees. I think this is a New England thing- hanging pumpkins from trees.

Thomas was in charge of stroller pushing duties and he excelled at it. Those cobblestone streets mean business!

John Kerry's house- whaaat?

As the evening went on the streets got more and more busy and before we knew it you could hardly move. The doorsteps got a little too busy for our friends so we headed back to the train and out of town.

One of the last houses we saw was this one- such a treat! They had a movie screen with some werewolf movie projecting, a big full moon, smoke machines, music and lights. It was truly unbelieveable.
