Happy Halloween

This is the second year in a row where the weather on Halloween was far from pleasant.  Although it wasn't snowing like last year, it rained most of the day which put a damper

on things (literally).  Thankfully the rain stopped near the end of the day so we

were able to get out for a little trick or treating with Max and Ruby.  

This year Owen's costumes of choice for himself and Joe were dinosaurs.  While Owen was

super excited to wear his costume, Joe wanted nothing to do with his and fought me on it

every time I tried to put it on him.  Somehow I managed to get him in it for trick or treating...

possibly the promise of candy if he wore it.  ;)

The kids had so much fun!  They sprinted from house to house to the point
where Joe and I could barely keep up.  

We worked on our trick or treating etiquette and explained to Owen that while

"give me candy" may elicit a laugh, "trick or treat" is far more polite.

They quickly learned that some of the doors just won't open no matter how

hard you knock or how much you peek in the windows.

After a total of 4 blocks the kids decided to call it a day.  Truthfully I think they couldn't

wait any longer to get back home and dig into their trick or treat bags. 

Happy Halloween!!
