Halloween Part Deux

As I predicted, the girls were not having it. They were cranky from the time I put them into their costumes until I finally released them from the wretched things. When we got home from G&G's house, I put them in their costumes and commenced the punkin carving. There was an unsuccessful attempt at an Elmo and a success with the bats (for Jack). Because of their sour moods, I decided against taking them around the neighborhood and that they would just have to be satisfied with the grandparents bringing them treats.

Since it was our first year in the house during Halloween, I was unsure of the turnout in the neighborhood. I wasn't surprised though to notice that there were barely any children out trick-or-treating and the children that were out were of the teenaged variety. The plus is that we did get to meet our neighbor Kelly and her adorable little 16 month old Natalie, who was a ladybug. After they left, J looked at me and asked, "Are the girls going to be walking like that in two months??" He had fear in his eyes. So, anyway, where are all the children? Do they go to parties? Are they at the mall? Was my candy not good enough??

The highlight of the night was the sweet (or weird? you decide...) dad dressed up, tights included, as Superman, and escorting his little girl and son around the block. He came in a near second to Natalie's snazzy tulle.

M&A are glad this holiday is over and hope you enjoy their misery.
