Halloween

How much fun we've had this Halloween! This has been one of the very few days, when my kids didn't need help getting up since they could wear their costumes to school today. I was impressed. It took a very little effort on my part to get them out the door. My little rainbow princess and very handsome Batman were so convinced that going Trick-or-Treating at 5:30 was totally OK. I thought it was still too early and we agreed to head out at 6:00. For them 30 minutes WAS eternity. The weather turned out nice except for the very end when it started raining and that's when we decided to wrap it up. We thought that an hour of walking around our neighborhood was good enough anyway. Gevin was getting a bit tired even though he had his scooter with him. As a matter of fact he was so tired that I didn't even have to put him to bed. He did it himself without me knowing. I found him, still with his Batman costume on, fast asleep. A miracle, after all that sugar he ate.

But the rain was not discouraging for some Trick-or-Treaters for we had plenty more kids show up at our doorstep. They fought the rain with persistence. They were after candy and they were gonna get it.

I was hoping I'd have better pictures. Lots of them turned out of focus. But we still caught a glimpse of the nicely over sized dress of Katlynn's and chocolaty face of Gevin's. And most importantly the memory of yet another fun activity spent together. Too bad Greg has to miss out on a lot of them because of his evening work schedule. We are glad that we have three-day weekends to catch up a bit.
