candy!

For the second year in a row several families from our street gathered here to set out for trick or treating. Unfortunately, the forecasters were wrong (shocker!) and the rain held on through the evening. Despite the fine drizzle, we all traipsed up and down the street, knocking on doors and ringing doorbells. We had the wagon train going again, but ended up walking for the last half of the trip. Audrey got the hang of it pretty fast. The photo in the top right was after the first house when she discovered they put CANDY in her bag. By the last house she was grabbing treats at the houses with the best of them. She walked right up and said everything she was supposed to, although too quietly to be heard.

Miles wavered between Superman and Imagination Mover Rich and I made him decide earlier this week, since Rich required some work. So after the GRE was over (oh yeah, I did it! and I'm pretty happy with the results. thanks for the prayers) I got to work making the shirt. A few iron-ons, some red duct tape and a glow stick for a scribble stick and viola, he's a mover. I'm sure no one knew who he was, but he loved it.

We got a later start this year so it was dark by the time we wrapped up. Both kiddos held in long enough for a treat when we got home - Rice Krispie Treat for Audrey & 4 pieces for Miles. They loved their costumes so much they wore them Sunday to the playground. Miles has already decided to be a witch with a pointy hat next year, we'll see how that goes. Might have to introduce him to Harry Potter.
