What you have all been waiting for. . . Halloween 2012

Grandma Manch sent me this special bib to start out something called Halloween.

I hit the hospital to test out my gear and see the pumpkin
carving contest winners.  My dad won, of course.

Quite a likeness of Daddy and Mommy's hospital.
Plus I am a sucker for a Matchbox car parking lot.

The hospital marketing department decided an impromptu photo shoot was necessary.
This actually happened and I've got the cover locked.

Quick breather and some pre-game tailgating just off Main Street.

Then it all came together.  Just walk down the street
and they put candy in your Halloween Man Bag.

I don't think I've ever seen this lady quite so happy.

Do you think this outfit makes my cheeks look chubby?

Ok, method acting.  What would a giraffe do?

I'm galloping, I'm galloping.

I'm trying to eat the leaves, trying to eat the . . .

CANDY!  'Tis easier to dip into Riley Kirchmar's stash.

Then I got desperate and started going door to door.
Randy and Betsy Graff seemed like candy dealers.

I wanted to be sure to check all the options before choosing.
Apparently,  I was LEANING on the candy bucket so keen was my intent.
