Halloween

Happy Halloween! We decorated for you about 6 weeks ago and have been eagerly anticipating your arrival ever since.

We picked today to carve our pumpkins, simply because I don't think it occurred to anyone prior!

Our first stop (as has become a fun little two year tradition) is our friend Rory and Caleb's house.   While Caleb was in school and Chloe May not feeling very photogenic, we had Matteo & Rory represent both families :-)

After lunch we were eager to get to school to show off our costume and see what our friends were for the celebratory day (can you find the skeleton zombie? below).

School was a particular treat for Mommy today as I volunteered my services for a short while.  Sure enough about 45 minutes before pick up I arrived to wipe down tables, stack chairs and finally read a story and listen to the goodbye routine.  I loved volunteering and hope to do it again soon!

When we arrived home we were barely inside long enough to use the potty when we started trick-or-treating.  Yuuki our first stop of the afternoon.

Our friends Brett, Jake, Joey & Alexa were all too willing to give us two pieces of candy each per child - - we gave some back of course :-)

Love it.

2.25 hours later we were done trick or treating.  We came home to find our candy bowl empty and though the doorbell continued to ring until well past 8 PM - - Mommy delighted in taking the candy she didn't find appropriate for Matteo & Chloe and handing it out.

Can you find Matteo in the below pic - staring at the vampire pumpkin.

 Well Happy Halloween - hope it was filled with more treats than tricks.
