Trick or Treat!

Why does Dennis's pumpkin always turn out better than mine? Sigh...

A picture of mine, for comparison.


The boys, just before trick-or-treating

To infinity, and beyond!

We live on a street with very few children. The majority are now in middle school or high school, so there are only about 4 children who actively trick-or-treat in our neighborhood. This turns out to be quite an advantage for the candy:child ratio, since most of our neighbors buy a full bag of chocolate, and have to give it to someone.







As we ventured down the block, we found that some of our neighbors had grandchildren visiting. As there are rather few houses on our street, this meant that we stopped inside for a mini-playdate at a few of the houses. Matthew began inquiring at every house, "Where are you toys? I want to play!" He was disappointed if we came to a house with no children present! We came home with quite the stash of candy.

Halloween is over, and now I have to get to the business of consuming all that chocolate removing our Halloween decorations and getting the turkey-related things out!
